I left twitter to escape this garbage. Now I see right wing propaganda occasionally appear in my feed. There isn’t a way to filter out right wing specific content, so I find myself having to block each individual user which is cumbersome. Is there a better way?

Also - why aren’t some of these people banned? They are promoting hate, greed and bigotry which is against our TOS.

Beginner question — What is the purpose when people reply with just a pushpin 📌?

Is it just for their own personal use (maybe they can search in their own replies?)

Or is it being “found” by other services? Like getting added to a feed? And what might those be?

Or something else?

This is why I love Bluesky, if a list is found to be abusive they will hide it from view and being seen. I was concerned about the language in my list so went ahead and changed the name to avoid a potential issue.

Just blue me at: I’m busy skeeting.

On FB and most other places it’s just post.

I like the platform, but don’t know what to say.

It’s certainly better than twitter for not showing me street fights, dog whistle racism or Elon staring at his navel all day.

But one thing I find super annoying is all the ‘blue army’ or ‘save the country from trump’ keyboard warriors.

My politics are progressive but I’ve never had interest in anyone’s half cooked opinions, no matter what side they’re on.

I’ve done a lot of “show less” but they still show up in my feed.

I’d be happy to see interesting opinions or articles about progressive politics but I’d really like this low grade content off my feed.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Also do others find their algo feed in a similar state?

I discovered this by accident. A post I pasted in had exactly 300 characters. The URL had 31 so I was getting ready to cut and paste the URL into a threaded multi post. Yet upon cutting the URL the SEO data, image and clickable link all stayed there!

On Twitter if you remove the URL there is no link left in the post to click on. I have heard that there is some feature that lets you abbreviate a link to get the character count down. That is good if the link doesn't have much SEO data but in my case where all of that is there why not just get rid of the long URL completely?

In the first few days it has been hard to find something wrong with the service.

Are we able to put videos or gifs on BlueSky yet? It will let me add a gif but it's just the first frame and won't animate. Is this coming soon or is there another way to embed motion content?

Hello.

I joined Bluesky to connect with academic peers, however I keep getting followed by busty women (I added this for humour, but it was a lot of p*rn)

I block every single one.. but it does not stop! How do I stop these accounts?

I am also getting politics suggested to me, which I do not want.

As of 3 days ago anything I like or repost or even post just doesn't show up? Issue just kinda came out of nowhere and I'm not sure how to fix it.

I hope that writing about this can either help me understand or communicate my point otherwise.

I speak Spanish and so I configured BkueSky to be in Spanish. However, there doesn't seem to be a strong prevalence of content from my country. You see as many posts from Argentina, Spain or Chile.

I'm not sure how this works for other languages, but if you compare it to X, the fact that you see tweets from issues that you're not even familiar with makes the feed less interesting.

Of course, there is stuff from other places that could catch your attention. I can consider cases where like if you are following a specific topic or feed.

But mostly for news and the public opinion, stuff from other countries becomes relevant as long as someone near you is talking about it.

Also, most of this doesn't need to be reinvented. Mass-media studies (McLuhan, Bourdieu) researched many topics like agenda-setting and geographic relevance half a century ago.

So I've been posting art quite regularly on Bluesky and have now recently been hit with an adult content lable for two of my recent posts. I've just sent an appeal for them but am also wondering how well does support handle appeals/ how long do they take?

I'm on my laptop using bluesky still don't see the trending page yet any fix yet?

I had an account but no matter how many times I put in my email to get the code to reset my password, I never get one. I have checked my email and the app. I also have tried multiple phones and I don't have access to my account anymore. What do I do?

i have keywords(emojis) muted that I see in peoples usernames and they still appear. what gives??

I’m serious it’s not fun to for Bluesky UI to be inferior to X’s.

It should change rn it just phone UI and I don’t like it.

Looking for some active block lists for annoying accounts. Investors, Doms, inappropriate stuff. Any favorites y'all have so far?

It feels like I keep getting the same things in my feed, all the time. I talk embroidery once and then I drown in embroidery. I like a comic, and then it's only comics. And some times it's the same picture reposted or taken by many people that keeps coming back.

I'm very happy to switch from Twitter but I feel it's a bit unbalanced for now.

Any tips ? (@jiminou.bsky.social - I like dark humour, board/video games, men and politics, in this particular order)
