Good time to consider and try out alternatives!

Such as Bluesky



Is Bluesky good enough and dense enough if I block all political keywords? X is good enough for me after muting all political keywords.

There was a link recently to a site that lists all top links on Bluesky and overwhelmingly all were about US politics.


It has great support for blocking yes. In fact, there are curated and/or crowdsourced block lists that one can subscribe to so you don’t have to spend as much time doing it yourself. I am sure there’s one that’s suitable for your needs but I don’t have any to recommend


..you can do that?! I've been dreaming of the ability to block certain words and phrases from Twitter. Blue sky is too chaotic for me… I'm OK sticking with Twitter so long as I can block words and phrases.


or mastodon. or threads. or <anme your platform here>... I hate that the short-text social media world got so fragmented. Twitter was the one place i could go to say hi to my neighbors, complain to a company and get recompense, grow my hobbies with friends, ask almost any restaurant "are you open on $holiday?" and just watch the whole world breathe.
