I used Twitter as a news feed. These days, it's Bluesky and Threads + Feedly for RSS feeds and Meco for newsletters. I wish Bluesky would enable removing and blocking bots and random trolls from our Follower lists
I’ve been on Bluesky for about a year now and love it. It’s a lot noisier now that I’m following so many and so many are following me compared to before the X-odus, so I love the Lists feature. I have one for Fil and Fil-Ams.
I never did get my news from social media. I use the CNN app and the apps for my city’s newspaper (one of them) and my preferred news channel.
Actually I haven’t created a Starter Pack. Lists just show me a feed of all the Fil and Fil-Ams I follow so I don’t miss their posts. There is a Starter Pack of Filipino journalists but I can’t remember what it’s called. I’ll find the post with the link to the Starter Pack and tag you (not sure this is possible on Bluesky though).

I think you can block accounts you think are trolls or bots.

I will check out your Starter Packs on Bluesky! Thanks for always reading my newsletter and yes, for commenting.
Here’s the link to the Starter Pack. I hope it works.
