excessive blocking by a significant % of users will eventually deteriorate the overall user experience
the whole idea is to deteriorate the overall user experience

I wasnāt aware that the Bluesky CEO was a crypto maven, so assume itās already in a death spiral now.

I wish the desktop browser version would keep the back arrow glued to the top of the screen when you scroll through replies on a post. It's a small complaint because you can go back by hitting the home icon or your browser back button, but I still find myself scrolling back to the top of posts to do this and then getting annoyed.

he blocked me for being a reply guy so I can't read it (I like him, but have always found his social media presence a bit willfully obtuse...he said something quite a while ago that everyone misinterpreted, because IMO he was just not clear, and I said so, and got immediately blocked)

If ilx had a block feature and we used it the way these itchy block-fingered high profile guys do on x/blueski we'd quickly have no one reading our posts.

thereās a music critic whom i like, and whose newsletter i subscribe to, but after each new post they spend several days re-blueskying it every three hours and this annoys me far more than it should and i wish i could turn those retweets off

Not that you be should have to, but if the newsletter has a distinctive name or there's some other word they always use in the promo posts, you could try muting it. Not sure if Bluesky mute supports multiword phrases or not.

Brazil Bluesky has suddenly exploded, apparently due to a court order blocking Twitter in Brazil(?)I keep a āstan accountā (sort of as a joke or diversion) that had absolutely zero going on, but was following a few dormant Brazilian fan accounts; and suddenly they sprung to life, along with a bunch of new ones, in a wave of follows and reposts. Pretty coolā¦

Iāve noticed Iāve blocked more people on Bluesky than Iāve blocked in the same time on other social media apps. Every week thereās some new fandom drama that brings the most unhinged takes to my timeline.
Last week was people responding to Ed Piskorās suicide with posts like āall predators should delete themselves?ā āPredators?ā āDelete themselves?ā
The last few weeks has made me reconsider the value of Googleās identity verification requirements for Google+. However, itās certainly possible social media is, at the end of the day, bad.

In the final year or so that I was on Twitter, I took to using my actual photo as a pfp, and a close version of my real name ā as a self-policing measure, to restrict the impulse to be unnecessarily rude, snarky, whatever. (I know that many ppl choose to be non-anonymous anyway, and many others canāt/wonāt do it for safety reasons; but it āworked for meā in that respect.)
― rendered nugatory (morrisp), Saturday, 13 April 2024 16:50 (two months ago) link
maybe the only reason civilization happened is that at some point physically you could ānot be thereā or could usually āwalk awayā? when the algorithm is feeding you terrible shit itās hard to get away. also harder online: re-enacting that story of the Kung bushmen who surrounded a tribe member who was a relentless bad-actor and then filled him with arrows. and then had absolutely the entire community stab him for community participation. i read it an a relatively serious book didnāt check on its truth.and not that i could recommend it, mind, i def would not do.
