    It's pretty good. It's like Twitter used to be before the Bots and Far Right weirdos started spamming it.

    Once the club starts posting we should build a block list for all the Wednesday and Leeds scrotes that spam the comments with abuse. That way anyone who subscribes can autoblock them all at once. Greatest feature ever

    I've linked a few block lists worth considering that make life significantly more pleasant and prevent these problem accounts from building success on the new platform.

    To use these lists you choose "subscribe" and then block all.. ot if you can be bothered you can look at each individual and decide. These list are maintained by individuals so they are no infallible and if they stop updating them then new accounts start to slip through though.

    I strongly advise taking control of what content you'd like to see though. It makes life on social media so much more pleasant. This isn't blocking everyone you disagree with, but simply ignoring problematic users.

    There are more specific groups that people may or may not want to see eg MAGA but you'll have to search for them yourselves.

    Content Scrapers- accounts who steal photos & media owned by others to gain likes & interactions for themselves: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bfjoqzne3tm5yxvpybdfahzo/lists/3jzmevbfqkj2u

    Nazis - What it says on the tin. Slightly terrifying they need their own list https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jagldyome3h27twtp46nxen7/lists/3kc6umbcl452c

    If anyone wants to send me a postcard i can PM my address. Its cool. People can communicate and send great pics to each other. Security a slight issue as the postman can read em. But hey it works and generally are nice messages from people i know (believe it or not). Nicknames, Pseudonyms, Handles, etc optional.

    Hope Doug O'Kane makes the move, he's the only person I really followed on twitter who hasn't yet.

    If you’ve not found Bluesky yet get going. Twatter has become a cesspit of vile content. Bsky is from the old type Twitter. Anyone going on to post racism, hatred, misogyny or stuff like that just gets blocked.

    I seem to have a problem with Bluesky - a bunch of people have followed me but when I click Follow Back they don't get added to my following list. If I go into their accounts and click Follow on there they still don't get added to my following list.

    Anyone else experiencing similar?

    *Edit

    Nevermind, working again now
