Recently i have been experiencing problems with Bluesky - freezing and loss of column headings. My only solution has been to uninstall the program and then re-install. Is there some setting i can change to prevent this becoming a recurring issue? Has anyoneelse had the same problem?

BBC Scotland reporters must have been hot footing it to Liverpool and Douglas on Sunday with the news that one of the Isle of Man ferries sustained damage and passengers were injured during a crossing to Liverpool.
Fair takes the pressure off the Glen Sannox.

Aye, when The Guardian promotes democracy and the Scottish electorate being given a chance to have their say on independence in a referendum within the next 2 years.

Okay, @Bluesky, I've tried on more than once to raise this matter with you, without any form of reply or advice.
I don't want to see only one side of any debate.

Trump may well want to see Scotland thrive, but I'm pretty certain that most Scots don't want a Scotland modelled on his world outlook.
I don't claim to speak for all Scots, just the ones with morals.

I buy your paper on a daily basis, but I'm constantly irked by the less than fulsome coverage you give to matters of all natures relating to Scotland. I'm regularly asked to give financial support but that won't happen until your coverage of Scottish issues improves significantly.

I took this shot on a visit to St Ives today, just because it amused me. 10 minutes later, one of these miserable f**ckers swooped down on me and stole my ice cream out of my hands. That most certainly did not amuse me.

Okay, I've asked this question before but I didn't get any response. Why do I frequently see replies to posts that are blocked (not by me but presumably by the person replying)?
I'd rather see both sides of any issue and decide for myself if I feel a block is appropriate.

Fairly new to Bluesky and slow to find my way round things so looking for some input.
I keep coming across posts that are noted as "reply to a blocked post". I haven't blocked many users so it doesn't relate any action of mine.
I prefer to see both sides of a debate to make my own mind up. But how?

I despair, reading in The Guardian today that in a poll 21% of 18 - 45yo's agree that "the best system for running a country is a strong leader who doesn't have to bother about elections".
Read a history book, watch a news program. It doesn't take too much effort to see where that leads.

As the Art World seems once again to have gone bananas I thought I'd offer my effort for consideration.
I'm calling this "Haggis, Neep and Tatties make the headlines".
I've got to cover my costs and make a profit, so any bids should start in excess of £20. But hurry before my wife makes our dinner.

Life isn't about politics, left or right.
Life is about decisions taken within reach of you.
We can't always look down south and moan.
Stand up, be Scottish, don't be anti- English, just don't be subservient.
The time is now, don't leave it too late.

I've seen this info heading a few posts now but I'm fairly sure I've not blocked that many , if any, punters yet.
Is there a way to read such posts if I choose to? Also, how can I check if I have blocked anyone?
