Fascinating. I gotta admit when I woke up and found that @dullcomp.bsky.social had put me on the “Nazism/Holocaust Inversion/Antisemites” Moderation List, I got angry. A friend got receipts. I was ready to do a splashy colored shaming charts. After all the man has: 26 blocklists categories!😳

I personally don’t accept that liberal people of any good conscious can mix political speech and evil with mental illness, further demonizing already stigmatized groups of people when so many of us are working on our health, keeping our heads down and surviving. #BeKind #HumanRightsForAll #Humanity

(big long 👇🏼 17-part thread about everything anyone might EVER want to know about these lists).

1/17 It seems like moderation lists (blocklists) are a pain in the (well you know.) A lot of people feel they are being targeted to suppress their Free Speech and want a way to remove themselves from any given blocklist. Bluesky’s Community Policing Program consists of moderation lists and labeling.

21 with reasonable Advisory Lists labels that advice “Evaluate accounts.” Two groups without advisory labels: (a little judgmental?) 🤷‍♀️ “Anime/furry/avoidant younglings” idk why “Unlabeled AI” One real dissonance list HAD the advisory: “Musk-stans/Al-sloppers” — for people who make AI lists! 🤣🤣🤣

BUT Blue-sky designed blocklists to let people opt-in for community policing instead of being platform-wide referees on personal tug-of-wars where some are going globally lose. My crime: I blocked his butt personally because even though I no longer gate-keep lists for the MH Communities (plural,)

The FOTNOTES!!! 🤣😝🤣 1 We ARE seeing those, but… 2 Not bloody likely, considering how outrageously incompetent and clownish the average GOP… 3 Jesus fucking Christ, the “can’t we look forward?” people are still TO THIS DAY, whining about the Civil fucking War. But… opinionatedogre.bsky.social

Voter turnout for the first day of early voting in my county Texas (in my SAFE RED county Texas) is up 56%. Now, all Republicans, except die-hard MAGA, at this moment in time, strongly disapprove of the present POTUS due to providing aid and comfort to Russia. You think they are voting? At all?

@areukiddingmern.bsky.social Please unfollow me. IF you choose to block, unfollow me first or I haunt your stars forever. IF you want to know why, check my bio, pinned post and posts THIS week. Your bio, 30 first posts 7/2025, AND huge amount of posts since deeply offend me and my Communities.

hahaha.. I earned this. I totally earned this. I hurt this person’s little feefees so bad they blocked me. Unblocked me and BLOCKED ME AGAIN for punctuation. I sure hope they heard the part about unfollowing me first… #MentalHealthMatters #StopTheStigma

Ok #earlyvoting for me starts next week. I could not possible be more disappointed in “The LEFT” When it becomes more about winning than HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED, it isn’t for me. Fortunately, I am in #Texas. I am going to be able to vote for young, bright minds that didn’t take owner money.

give a damn about demonizing other already stigmatized people. But… many big name personalities/alternative news providers lead this onslaught besmirching the mentally ill by making sure we KNOW we exist at the very bottom of the barrel with the rest of the dregs of… well… narrow-minded people…

who won’t listen to reason or look at facts. About now you’re reaching for your block or squaring off your shoulders for the fight. Don’t bother. I’ve pretty much quit trying to reach anyone on a humane level. Sure wish we subhuman garbage got a little of that #BeKind and that #EqualityForAll

someone who doesn’t support them? Autistic people are trying to survive the onslaught of being listed, targeted and demonized, and you guys are so busy throwing stones that you are not seeing the casualties. Then, we get to MY issue. God forbid you compare slimy evil politicians and their…

supporters to any marginalized group? Right? you wouldn’t say they are acting like any of the folks that the EEOC are supposed to be protecting… Right? Then, why continually compare greedy, evil people to us? I would like to tell you it is only the most uninformed people that don’t…

Someone put me on a block list last Spring that said something like “You are so focused on your own issue that you break the cohesion of the Left, Stop that!” See Post #1. People, trans folks are literally running, hiding and fighting for their lives… Do you really wonder why they won’t support…

Hahahaha I got to tell you guys! You won’t believe this sh*t! I was doing a keyword search and made s typo — now if you know me, THAT part is believable… but what came out was: paychotic

💙 Resisters 💙 Less than 1% of Bluesky users are making posts that conflate the evils 3 old men and their followers are inflicting on our world with MH, but there are 46.7M Bluesky users. Their posts, using MH diagnoses/symptoms, clutter the feeds and hashtags we use to find and support each other.

💙 Resisters (cont) 💙 We can’t be in the Coalition because the people demeaning us are Resisters and/or Liberals We just wish instead of being othered, we just got some of that #EqualityForAll If #StrongerTogether does not include #Trans #Autism #Bipolar #MentalHealth, then it doesn’t include me

@kurtrrichards.bsky.social HI. I am not going to Follow back. We don’t seem to have much in common. I’d like you to read some of my posts. If you agree that our interests don’t match, please unfollow. If you believe we still should be Mutes, please tell me why …so I can think it through.

@schultziepie.bsky.social someone just followed me from this. Please remove me. I check my Notifications and spend some time on BipolarSky. I don’t politically post about much except how the left unintentionally disregards MH people or intentionally weaponizes MH keywords for demeaning attacks.

This guy followed me in the last 4 hours… a MENTAL HEALTH CASE WORKER (!!!) using a medical term regarding psychiatric symptoms for POLITICAL posts. YOU can block. I can remove purple blocks. We all have choices. YOU should choose to UNFOLLOW me.

Goodbye…for Now 💜 Friends… After a lot of thought, I’ve decided it’s time for me to step away from Bluesky for a while. I’m overwhelmed, and something has to give. My family, my heart and my health have to come first. 🦋 1/10

This Sunday I’ll post one final Bipolar Boost List thread that includes whatever new community resources and volunteers have come together. Thank you for every conversation, every laugh, every kindness, every correction, every shared story, and every reminder that good people still exist. 🦋 9/10

Well I didn’t make it here yesterday…but that’s okay. I’d rather leave the list the way it was. Nobody wanted to continue anything. All my lists have been deleted except the Bipolar Community. That’s all Folks!

My account will remain here, but I’ll be closing my DMs after a few days. During the next three days, they’ll stay open while I help with transitions. If you’d like: • to recreate one of the moderation lists… • to rebuild the Bipolar Community custom list… …send me a DM. 🦋 7/10

If you’d like: • links to my Bipolar coping strategy posts to keep sharing… • to volunteer to continue the Weekly Bipolar Boost List… • or just leave me with a hug… …send me a DM. And if we’re friends who should probably have each other’s email addresses by now…send me those too. 🦋 8/10

The same is true when femininity, women’s names, or drag are used as the punchline to insult someone. Those jokes rarely impact their intended target. Those messages land most heavily on the hearts of other marginalized people. I know most people don’t mean harm. But impact matters. 🦋 5/10

For years I’ve tried, in my own small way, to encourage conversations that leave people with a little more hope, a little more understanding, and a little more kindness than they had before. I’m simply too tired to keep doing that right now. 🦋 6/10

I’m tired of watching conversations circle endlessly while meaningful action too often never follows. I’m tired of seeing people already living with mental illness pushed further to the margins sometimes unintentionally, simply because their experiences are forgotten in conversations. 🦋 3/10

And I’m especially tired of seeing the language of mental illness used as political insults. Words like bipolar, psychotic, delusional have become weapons against people we dislike. The people who actually live with those conditions become collateral damage. 🦋 4/10

I don’t know whether this break will last a few weeks or much longer. I just know this: right now, I need some peace. Part of this decision comes from being tired. I’m tired of so much of our energy being spent fearing the future instead of building a better today. 🦋 2/10
