Mute Lists (hiatus)
Mute lists in various states of completion. Slowed down now that everything is done by hand.
The goal of these lists is to make Bluesky a less stressful place to be.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Brianna Wu & her followers. This list is for those who don't lilke Wu and don't want to see posts by people who support/follow her. Nobody is required to see your posts on Bluesky--it's silly to get upset about this list.
HOWEVER! If you're on this list in error, leave me a reply in my pinned post.

There isn't enough time to determine what an account's political identity is. If they include MAGA in their profile, they are on this list. Right wing and blue wave accounts alike.
There are folks here who don't want to see posts from accounts with political identities. This list is for them.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)

List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
- Accounts that all post the same spammy content, usually from a network of bots.
- Suspicious porn accounts. Sex work is valid, but malicious & bot accounts often masquerade as porn. If I've put you on this list and you're legit, please let me know!
- Accounts that troll on purpose.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts that follow a LOT of people (~5k+ or an indication that they "follow back"). You're free to use bsky however you wish, and may your timeline be ever-abundant.
However, the practice of mass following turns off a lot of people. This list is for those folks.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts that proclaim to be CEOs of companies you've never heard of. Such accounts are *potentially* scammers and trolls.
Hide them all to remove stress from your timelines.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts on this list:
- are self-proclaimed Zionists, or;
- post content that celebrates or rationalizes genocide (or mass killings of marginalized communities)
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
This list is to hide accounts that mainly post political content from your timelines. Not everyone on bsky wants to see a constant stream of political posts or memes.
This includes accounts from all over the political spectrum.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Pro-Trump and Pro-GOP accounts are often incendiary and exhibit trollish or bot behavior. This list is for people who want to avoid them and the stress they bring to timelines.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
These accounts make suspicious, petty, defamatory, inaccurate, revenge, and/or agitating block lists.
People mute and block for all sorts of reasons. If you want to add others to goofy lists, we can use those same tools avoid you.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts that have few posts of their own, only reply to others, or post a large amount of annoying replies. AKA Reply Guys.
Apologies to new accounts that haven't had a chance to post much. If you develop a unique timeline (not just reposts & replies), let me know.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts that haven't given us any sense of identity.
These accounts had no information on them when they were added to the list. I will try to review this occasionally to remove people who have updated their information.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Legitimate accounts, aggregators, and spammers from all over the political spectrum.
This isn't an indictment of these accounts in any way. The simple fact is that not everyone wants to see news on bsky--this list exists to make it easy to mute news sources, keeping their posts off your timelines.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts that have posted content hostile to trans communities, which this list-maintainer has verified with their own eyes.
Transphobic content includes:
- misinformation;
- perpetuation of myths;
- fear-mongering; and/or
- openly hostile behavior
about and toward trans communities.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Brianna Wu and her followers. For people who do not like Brianna Wu and don't want to see posts by people who support or follow her.

Generative AI models are predominantly trained on stolen work of others, with no compensation given to the original artists & authors.
NFT, cryptocurrency, & finance accounts are rife with scams. It's impossible to determine if accounts in these areas are legit, so avoid the stress & mute them all.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Blue heart/wave accounts post a lot of political content. Not everyone wants to see this in their timelines.
These accounts unrepentantly use gAI slop. Further, there are a lot of bots, trolls, and spammers masquerading as blue accounts.
Avoid stress & irritation by hiding them all.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
Accounts that largely talk about pop stars (e.g. Swifties & Army) or sports.
No offense to these accounts--live your joy. This list is meant for people who have no interest in such topics & want to mute them on their timelines.
I don't search for these accounts. I add them as I come across them.
List by Mute Lists (hiatus)
- Accounts with censorial DNIs listed in their bios (they asked for a DNI, and this list shall serve as one).
- Accounts that are rude to fellow fans and creators.
