DM only please, we can't filter notifications yet.

No longer accepting:
- non-English accounts
- meme pages
- cat/dog accounts
Since people keep asking "Why am I on your list?" via DM:

The answer:
You're not on the list. You're *subscribed* to the list. If you were on the list, you wouldn't be able to DM this account in the first place.

You most likely saw the label on ClearSky and misinterpreted what it said.

If you want to find ethically sourced science images posted by actual experts, this thread is a good pointer. It focuses on space pics, but the principle applies everywhere.

In short, bluesky's starter packs and feeds help you find legitimate accounts, eliminating the need for aggregator accounts.
So this AI nonsense showed up in my discovery feed.

A thread on how to avoid AI-generated slop and mislabeled/misattributed/unattributed images and find real space images and astronomy content on Bluesky. 🔭

Would someone please step up and take over the cat/dog side of bluesky already? There are so many of them to, uh, vet.

Related services I recommend:

@aimod.social can label or hide AI-generated images from your feed, useful for people who have trouble telling them from real photos

@arttheft.bsky.social warns you of posts with stolen artwork and accounts that repeatedly post them without the artists' permission

Hello and thank you for using the blocklist!

The original list hosted on my personal account @franzanth.bsky.social was created during bsky's early days. It has since escaped my circle of friends and evolved into a multi-purpose blocklist, so I feel it's important to redefine my scope here. 🧵
