It's possible to block both. If bsky would let you use starter packs as block lists, it would be a lot easier than it is.

I block any account that is primarily politics-based (Hillary Clinton's social media team joined a month ago and has 5k blocks already so I'm not alone), and other accounts as and when they become tiresome (ie when they go on a political rant). My feeling is that academics broke mostly to bluesky while techies broke mostly to mastodon. I follow some academic accounts that occasionally post interesting things - nothing earth-shattering, but worth checking in once every couple of days.

My main problem with bsky is that a lot of academics seem to approach it as a write-only medium. No engagement.
