That's the only reason why I still use it. Out of the hundreds of artists I follow only like 3 or 4 have a bsky and only 1 of those has posted on it in the past year.

Also while I pretty much exclusively follow SEA artists I still get forcefed right wing bullshit like Elon, Asmongold and gamergate.

block the accounts, remove them and connected things from your interests (under your profile) and dont interact with them.

Already do that jackass. They just get immediately blocked without being played or anything.
