@anthracite Bluesky's a way larger chunk of the population, so I don't think I can as easily characterize a general trend of people there as I can for Mastodon.
I mute people because they post a lot and I simply can't handle the volume.
I unfollow people because they keep talking about stuff that I just don't have the emotional resource to deal with.
I block people because I see them as actively hostile and I don't want to offer anything they can potentially use against me.
I've blocked way more people on Bluesky than I've ever unfollowed or muted. I'm not sure I like what that says about me.
"Why, you can get a phonograph record of Minnie the Moocher for 75 cents! For 1.25 you can get Minnie!"

@frost oh, you're doing a personality test for a job application. I hate those things - there's no obvious answer the authorities want.
@electrickeet You never met Jack Burch, did you? UM's curator of mollusks. He relied on that for stuff like doing his taxes and stuff.
I am angry and hate very deeply, and much as I wish I could jettison this, things are additive. That’s usually a good thing; I can be compassionate, gentle, joyful, sentimental. But it still means I’m angry and hate filled sometimes, and those aren’t comfortable feelings even without the association some officially good person will punish me (justifiably if disproportionately) for it.
Something I think is cool; you can figure out a little about someone's original language from their accent.
So if West Indians have accents similar to people from not just Africa but completely different parts of the continent, you get an idea of how Niger-Congo group languages sound and also how HUGE a group that is.
But AAVE doesn't sound like West Indian/African accents. Which makes me wonder if AAVE actually reflects whatever not-English-not-southern accents Americans had before the 1800s.
"maybe that's why he put the wrong letter on there, because he's a liar?"
"I'm a liar too! Check this out, Butthead!"
"Fhut up, you're not half as good a liar as this guy."
@LexYeen I've seen things you people wouldn't imagine. Preggo giant stallions off the shores of Orion. I've seen herm skunktaurs glittering in their coating of TF nanite goo at the Tannhauser gates.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
