In Bluesky, you can block entire lists of user profiles in a fairly simple way, and here we explain how to do it. In this way, we can avoid coming across accounts that we don’t like, either because of their content or some other reason. So, if you don’t know how to block entire lists of profiles in Bluesky and you’re interested in doing so, just keep reading, here we give you the step-by-step instructions on how to do it. Let’s get to it.

On every social network there are accounts that are often somewhat annoying, given the posts they upload or the spam content they promote. Some of these accounts even harass or transmit hate messages, something that must be avoided at all costs. To do this, Bluesky has a function that allows you to block entire lists of profiles.

With this feature, you can block multiple accounts at the same time. Just follow the steps below. This way, you will avoid having to search and block account by account, which can be quite tedious and time-consuming. Here’s what you have to do to achieve this: 

  1. The first thing you need to block entire lists of profiles on Bluesky is the links that lead to them. We will explain how to find them later.
  2. Now, once you have clicked on the links of these lists, you must look for the Subscribe button , which appears in the upper right corner of the application. 
  3. Then you have to click on the Block accounts option , and finally confirm the action by clicking on the red button that appears below as Block lists. This will cause all the accounts that are on that list to be blocked, without further ado.

To unblock entire lists in Bluesky, simply tap the three horizontal lines button located in the bottom left corner of the app, then go to the Settings section. Once there, you have to go to the Moderation section, then enter Moderation lists. Then tap on the blocked list you want, and finally tap on the Unblock button that appears in the top right corner of the screen.

How to find lists of profiles you are not interested in following on Bluesky.

There is no section on Bluesky where you can find lists of profiles. These are created by users of the social network (you can create your own, in fact), so they are shared by them through links. Normally, they publish them on their different social networks, not just on Bluesky. Therefore, it is common to find lists of profiles that you are not interested in following on Bluesky on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Threads, among others.

It is also possible to find lists of profiles you are not interested in following on sites and forums such as Reddit or Quora, and even WhatsApp and Telegram channels and groups , where many users often share their lists of unwanted Bluesky profiles and accounts, explaining what kind of accounts are on them and why they are there. 

To do this, you can use the search engine of your preferred social network or website to search for keywords such as “Bluesky profile lists” or “lists of accounts to block on Bluesky”, just to give two examples of possible searches. Then you just have to find the lists of profiles to block that interest you, and then follow the steps we indicated above.

You can also ask your friends or colleagues who use Bluesky if they have lists of profiles to block
