Bluesky Resource Recommendations

On October 16th 2024 the ExTwitter leadership decided to take another large step in the site's downward spiral. They changed the way the block feature works with no regard for how this will impact those that use the feature to protect themselves against abuse and harassment.

These changes have resulted in a fairly large migration of users from ExTwitter to Bluesky. Rather than creating a thread on the site to share useful resources, I thought I’d write up a post.

Feeds

Feeds are like little algorithms that can be created and shared by the users. This is a list of feeds that I make constant use of. You can also search for feeds in your feeds settings.

Labelers

Labelers are a form of community-run moderation. These services apply labels to posts / accounts. Then you can subscribe to that labeler and choose how you'd like that service's labels to be handled. There is not yet a great way to search for labelers, so sharing good ones is key. These each do different things so read their descriptions and decide if their labels are of interest to you.

Moderation Lists

Moderation Lists are block / mute lists created and shared by other users. You can subscribe to these lists to automatically moderate the users on the list.
