early Bluesky was very "don't feed the trolls" as the internet used to be and as I wish all social media still was

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

current Bluesky is still *relatively* "don't feed the trolls," but there's definitely a lot less quick blocking and more "dunking on the trolls which means still sharing their content" these days which bums me out

gosh yeah I already miss the times when everyone thought it was a bad idea to quote post or screenshot the bad takes and we could all just block them and move on

yeah I really want us to bring that back. I mean. it's probably too late but. we're not quite as far gone as other socials yet? I still miss out on a lot of discourse? c'mon bluesky users surely we can still return to the light
