    Someone made a starter pack to let you block anyone who followed the account. Distressing number of university professors were on that list.

      I don't even know what to say. The US is filled with shit and shitty people. I wish those things weren't true but they certainly are.

        A lot of them are the academic equivalent of free speech absolutists who think that society is trying to stop them from researching anything controversial. Like they're being punished for thoughtcrimes instead of following/platforming bigots. One philosopher in particular was really disappointing to see on there. Here's the list tho if it's useful. Of course take it with a grain of salt since it's huge and sure to have misfires.

      Haha. I thought he had unblocked me at first for some reason. But I see now that he's toast. I edited my post title.

      I hope in some tiny way I was a - cough - snowflake that helped create an avalanche of anger in him so he lost it and he got himself deleted.

    I remember this guy from when he wrote an article about "straight guys who have sex with men" every year for about five years

    Suspended, then unsuspended, then labeled, then un-labeled. Bluesky mods are looking incredibly incompetent right now. On the plus side, he's on his way to be among the most widely blocked accounts, so at least there's that.

    Surely this is a bit? The guy's profile pic is the arrogant obnoxious writer that nobody likes from the Sad Horse Show. Even by Sad Horse Show standards he's a giant piece of shit.
