It's genuinely worth a quick check of the advanced moderation settings as there's plenty I'm sure people would like to tweak but aren't aware that they can.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

My father worked on an offshore wind farm. Woke up early every morning before dawn to wrangle the zephyrs out to pasture, then he had to milk the breezes. Sometimes one of the gales would get a little rowdy.

He died of whale-lung at the age of forty two.

Fenella Racist, the former Conservative Minister for Housing (6-9 October 2021), has sensationally defected to Reform UK.

Racist, 52, who lost her seat to a Labour newcomer with a large face and a briefcase, said the Tories had lost sight of ordinary voters’ priorities, which is a code they use.
