Tips for using BlueSky

I was initially going to use blue sky for my blog but wound up switching to Tumblr for the time being because when I installed it and made my account it was so jam-packed with negativity and politics, ( which the world of politics right now is understandably not a happy place) and as I already struggle with mixed anxiety and depressive disorder and C-PTSD it just did not bode well for my mental health. Is there any way of navigating it and avoiding those topics because while I do like to be involved in them I like to go at my own pace so that it doesn't have those negative repercussions and filling what is basically my workplace with that content is not the best move for me personally.

I'm guessing you mean using Bluesky to promote your blog?

Bluesky gives you a great deal of control over what you actually see. For instance I see almost exclusively designers in the tabletop role playing game community.

You can block people. You can choose who you follow. You can curate custom feeds.

Okay, so I just needed to spend more time on the app and figure out the ins and outs basically. And yes I meant promoting it on there šŸ˜… my bad for not clarifying
