I followed a science starter pack, thinking it’d be, well, wall-to-wall science with a bit of random everyday stuff mixed in. Right?
Nope. Turns out, thanks to American current affairs, almost all of its members post political content almost all of the time. Close to the last thing I want to see on social media. (I don’t blame them, as they’re being hit hard by it all.)
To make it worse, most Bluesky users don’t “do” hashtags or content warnings (unless it’s promoting something - remember to like and subscribe!), so it’s incredibly difficult to filter out the clickbait and rage-sharing. 😟

I think you can block posts with certain words on Bluesky.
You can. But guessing all the variations of nicknames for Trump, for example, is a never-ending game.
God forbid anyone there use a ‘politics’ (or even ‘uspol’ in my example) hashtag…
