![Why I had to leave BlueSky
Before the weekend, 1 pulled up ClearSky and learnt that for every follower I have on BlueSky, I have 30 people blocking me. About 1.1k followers, and 30,000 blockers. It turns out I'm on a ton of block lists.
And why? I've used what I thought were innocent starter packs of journalists to get going, which again had people on them that got me auto-enrolled into block lists. I'm not going to mention who -but neither was someone I had much knowledge about.
I left Twitter because I can't stand the right-wing BS and I'm generally repulsed by the blatant racism on there. But now, l find myself on lists with titles like:
• Hate-enablers
• Fascism supporters
• Drama
• Menschenfeindlichkeit
• and lots of variations of "[name] followers".
And - I can accept being blocked. Even by 30,000 people. But I can't be on lists of "Fascism Supporters" in public on the Internet.
Just super disappointed in this platform and it's users. I pointed all my contact points to get in touch with me through BlueSky and made it my primary social platform, because I wanted this to succeed.
For new users, I think I'd recommend if you're going to use BlueSky, be anonymous + don't use starter packs. But man, that's really killing the value for me.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hg4j43t357rjmyewucelrgkw/bafkreibe5qm3zkod5xdlphrxzc6xsbloeellr3iybb3h3swit3yftrsjxi)
