George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 22/07/2026While this place is 100x better than the hellsite, there are still a few people who seem determined to spoil the experience. So here are my instant blocking criteria: - Insults or abuse - Performative idiocy - False accusations - Pointless conflict - Racism, sexism or other prejudices. 591075101
JJ @jj.mcdonough.rodeo · 22/07/2026- People who make strawman arguments - People who try to make the conversation about you instead of the arguments - People who portray you as someone you're not (see above) 010
James Clossick @jamesclossick.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Performative Idiocy were a bit disappointing at Glastonbury last year. 040
Lynne #TaxTheRich #WelfareNotWarfare. Eco-Socialist. Pro-🇵🇸 @bebsdotteragain.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Sometimes it’s best to ignore. I find if you don’t acknowledge or engage with them, they get very little traction… and that, after all, is what they’re after! 010
morgaine-pendragon.bsky.social @morgaine-pendragon.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I find the performative liberalism/neoliberalism here more insidious & vomit-inducing than on Xitter: At least most of the misogynist racist sociopaths there are overt about their beliefs. Whereas here just as many privileged white men upholding WMSP but deny it & pretend to be "progressive" 🤮 1/ 100

Nick Xylas @nickxylas.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Guess you should add both-sidesism to that list, or does it fall under performative idiocy? 010
Malcolm @greenman-23.bsky.social · 25/07/2026unfollowing bcos of this post & the subsequent interactions with the minions I disagree with you very STRONGLY You would be the 1st to complain about censorship, etc: if it happen to you, XR, JSO, P.A, etc yet at the same time you are prepared to inflict it on others do as i say not as I do eh? 😞 000
Malcolm @greenman-23.bsky.social · 22/07/2026is bigotted speech free speech? I would aver America's 1st amendment has got it right: it is blocking, cancel culture, de-platforming, ghosting, shadow bans..etc are all tools of oppression if you use them then you justify their use against you.. be careful what you wish for, it may come true 310
HD @dmhsofia.bsky.social · 22/07/2026bsky.app/profile/geor... Hi George. Does calling someone "craven, spineless and utterly useless" qualify for "insults and abuse" 🤔George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.socialOne of my earnest hopes is that Emma Reynolds, the former City lobbyist whom Starmer appointed as yet another craven, spineless and utterly useless Environment Secretary, will be out of a job tomorrow. www.theguardian.com/environment/...theguardian.comPoultry sector growth plan risks UK national security, campaigners warnGovernment’s food security push is said to rely on animal feed imports with vulnerability to supply chain shocks 000

paulusthewoodgnome @paulusthewoodgnome.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm not averse to 1 but only towards people who fall under 2, 3, 4 and 5 – which, thankfully, you never do. 😊 100
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 22/07/2026For me, excusing genocide is an instant block. I resist the urge to block people who try to talk knowledgeably about football but call it "soccer" 010
Rosie Shearburn @worcesterwoman.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Gratuitous crotch shots of hairy sweaty men in gym = instant block. 030

CarolD @carolwildbird.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Good list . I’d add people who take a particular stance no matter what the evidence…( or do you classify that as performative idiocy?) 000
Aptly Asked 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🍁 @aptlyasked.bsky.social · 22/07/2026💯 I'm glad you did not include performative lunacy.

thepolyorchid @thepolyorchid.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Apologies in advance for my next idiocy. I assure you that in my case, it’s always full blown stupidity…. Never performative! 😂 010
Mike Wilson @whisperingwind.eurosky.social · 22/07/2026Blue Sky must be very frustrating for trolls -- most people here block or mute & move on. Trolls fail to extract much engagement. It's one of the reasons this place is so much nicer than Twitter. 2522
Bridie Mac 🍉 @bridiemac.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Awwwww, please don't block me! I insult every flavour of brain-dead Conservatives all the time! Oops, I did it again! Sorrynotsorry. 110
Sir Basil @sirbasil.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Also people who: -refer to the heatwave of 1976 to show climate change isn't real, - say "but CO2 is plant food!" - say "why don't we just get a businessman to run the country?" - who won't familiarise themselves with Irish history and the UK's role in it 3362

ReMona Lisa - News Reader - @thebookwormturns.co.uk · 22/07/2026Add animal cruelty, and you have all my criteria, too. That includes people who buy up or adopt animals for the cameras or likes. Trust me, they're out there. 041
Brenny @pissedoffinnh.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Great list… might want to add “those that don’t follow back…at all” Oh, wait… 010
Joel Herron - Pica Pica Press @joeyheroin.bsky.social · 22/07/2026sometimes i block people for having shite profiles. i don't think there are any rules are there? 020
Cardinal Cyn @jacquelinecable.bsky.social · 22/07/2026You're a journalist aren't you? And a writer I think. Surely that puts a target on your back from everyone who wants to score intellectual points? 180

Anthony 💙🇺🇳🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴🇦🇺 @antenor-eu4uk.bsky.social · 22/07/2026- Maliciously adding me to a list that misrepresents me. ... which, I grant, is a form of meta-"false accusation". 110
Feral Millennial Communists of Late Stage Capitalism @feralcommie.bsky.social · 22/07/2026It's the contrarian replies that get me. People who deliberately miss the point of a post to take issue with a minor detail, and denounce the whole post as a result 1200
