'In 2018 there will be a million robotaxis' or something like that...

Being a guy who sees the glass as half-full, at least it didn't just randomly make up answers and mark it as solved.

This is a thread that warms my heart.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 15h

THOSE were crazy times!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 1d

Sounds like we're doing the same thing in that regard! Cheers

We raised our kid by telling him no words were ever off limits because it's the tone that matters.

I told him I was golfing at a certain TPC course with a buddy today and he said 'you fcker, can I go?'

Wife and I got a kick out of it.

A root canal is WAY less expensive than a hip replacement so you've got to add weights to that decision.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 1d

...by at least 3%

And adding to it as new MAGA/propaganda accounts join!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 1d

Yes. If you subscribe to the list, it will then give an option to block or mute the users who are on the list.

Thanks for reaching out!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Yep, that one didn't require much thought, haha.

Thanks so much for sharing and, if it's not too inconvenient, please consider forwarding any others you might find.

Have a great night and thanks again!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Wow, you're fast!!

I've spent around 10 hours today adding people to the list and I've only gotten this far.

That said, I'm probably being overly cautious, reviewing profiles and trying to make sure I don't inadvertently block people who might have been posting jokes/sarcasm.

I'll get quicker 🙂

They look like they have weak mitochondria.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks, Victoria!

I added several hundred users today and will continue to search for MAGA troll accounts.

They're joining Bluesky because their success depends on spreading propaganda. My goal is to provide an easy way for us to shut them down.

Cheers!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

But since they're mostly stupid...

For example, I posted a note with my moderated MAGA account list. You'd think they'd understand that in order to add users, I first have to find them. Still they insist on sending me messages and DMs. And I'm like: thanks for making my job so much easier. LMAO.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Amen to that!!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you...I didn't see his reply!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Definitely -- Thank you and have a great day!

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks for the heads-up. Just opened them up!

Cheers

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Wow! Word on the new 4Chan (ie., the site formerly known as Twitter) is that my autoblock list is really ruffling some feathers. Thanks for your support, everyone!

Let's continue to keep our little slice of the internet free from propaganda.

Poor MAGA user on X.com is whining about being put on a block list at Bluesky. Crying about not being able to spread propaganda.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

You can just reply (like you did here), @ me in a reply or via DM. Much appreciated!

I'm only targeting blatant MAGA cult/propaganda accounts. Because they're not here for any good reason.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 2d

Your standards are a little too high, LOL.

I'd be amazed if, in the middle of an empty room, he could sit down on the floor and then get back up.

I used to think billionaires were smart people who were simply capable of seeing things I was incapable of seeing.

Come to find out they're mostly opportunist idiots who took outsized risks, got very lucky, and then pass out their horrible takes as "wisdom" while they run their victory laps.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 3d

I was watching the short and I caught myself thinking: this is going to be horrible but I have to stop being so skeptical and keep an open mind because maybe it'll be awesome.

That was dumb. It was worse than horrible.

Angelo @ac74394.bsky.social · 3d

Sounds like he's still a baby reporter, just, no longer in his early 20's.
