If your profile seems sus im blocking you

We are all feeling the effect of narcissistic abuse from Maga and Musk's troll bots on Twitter.

Understood. 👍

amgmi.bsky.social•200 days ago

Good idea. I do the same

quaxquax.bsky.social•200 days ago

Makes perfect sense.

warsanddolls.bsky.social•200 days ago

Here are some lists of magas and nazis to block

I also need to see at least some mutual followers as well 🤷‍♀️

zensoul.bsky.social•200 days ago

I made a similar post a couple of days ago. If there is no clue as to whom you are, I will not follow back. Y’all gotta give us SOMETHING from which to work!

epistling.bsky.social•200 days ago

I hear you, for the most part I get my entertainment on FB but spending some time here to get the lay of the land is for now interesting. I feel I need to read the important truths plus the hope in the for now, hearts slightly broken.

elizabethmirra.bsky.social•200 days ago

I could use some good followers! I think I'm invisible, except to some single male doctors or weight lifters and some soft porn accounts with racy photos of half-naked women. ..A few real friends from the past, thank goodness.

retiredandwoke.bsky.social•200 days ago

It took me a few days to add a bio. I was closing down my two Twitter accounts that I'd had dince 2011 and trying to figure out this one. And visiting drs. My son is getting ear tubes again in the morning. I do understand how not having a bio would be offsetting. Just hope you'll take a 2nd look.

goldcountryrich.bsky.social•200 days ago

I follow the same game plan.

kabuliwallah.bsky.social•200 days ago

I get it. I’m just being cautious because of what I do. Sorry about that.

Is this first instance of "Twas?" Tis brilliantly clever!

bohonana.bsky.social•200 days ago

#Twas
#@mk-indy.bsky.social
Absolutely love this reference for Leon's social media abomination!

(Is that the right way to do it?)

indyrefugee.bsky.social•200 days ago

😂😂 idk but I like it!

bohonana.bsky.social•200 days ago

I'll have to live with the consequences! Good morning to you! Thanks for a fun start to my day!

bohonana.bsky.social•200 days ago

More importantly, can I use it as my very own?

indyrefugee.bsky.social•200 days ago

feel free! 😂

bohonana.bsky.social•200 days ago

Now it's in my bio.

indyrefugee.bsky.social•200 days ago

😂😂 remember its roots!

mtnbikerdenis.bsky.social•200 days ago

Yep. Another red flag: 2K followers with 1 post.

amywarehouse.bsky.social•200 days ago

fair

johnmchenry.bsky.social•200 days ago

Agreed. No info in bio, no posts or replies = no follow back. Any mention of crypto = *definite* no follow back.

anais-javaski.bsky.social•200 days ago

For sure!

mishymish.bsky.social•200 days ago

Since there’s no SB option are you just ignoring or actually blocking?

indyrefugee.bsky.social•200 days ago

cautiously keeping for now.

mishymish.bsky.social•200 days ago

Me too. But I fear that like on Twitter it’s gonna be hard to go back and clean out later when you’re account is much bigger and you have to scroll back through hundreds of people 🤷🏻‍♀️

mimikennedy.bsky.social•200 days ago

Understand. I’ve moved here, & it seems to be a good refuge.

I’m starting over for the 3rd time. I’ll follow for a bit, but after a while I’ll leave accts that don’t follow back. I’m just tired of the game: “Post a 💙and I’ll follow back” or “Can you see me? I’m getting throttled.”

I have a voice.

dorothymurphy.bsky.social•200 days ago

Followed 💙

lilith0317.bsky.social•200 days ago

Following!!

lucysmithhopes.bsky.social•200 days ago

Followed!

lizreusswig.bsky.social•200 days ago

💯

martinaenglington.bsky.social•200 days ago

Agreed. All 3 are an instant mute.

flyingfool.bsky.social•200 days ago

Same here. I am getting lots of follows from people with no bios, no posts, only reposts of other people's work. I will give them some time to get some credibility but then I will start flicking.

autumnwolf9k.bsky.social•200 days ago

I feel the same way.

greenie22.bsky.social•200 days ago

Yep!

blasiabobbi215.bsky.social•200 days ago

I have a whole bunch of follows that I didn’t follow back for that same reason. I need to see you’re not a sneak Twitter user before I hit that button. Another red flag for me is nature photos with no caption.

oldguywithdogs.bsky.social•200 days ago

I'm with you there, not replying to DMs for starters.

littlebitred.bsky.social•200 days ago

Hard to not vet people after musky x.
Real person here.
Still haven't filled out my bio on here. Trying to get my followers from hell hole added here.

sarcasmrules.bsky.social•200 days ago

I don't have a bio yet, but am a legit Iiberal 😆

renmankev.bsky.social•200 days ago

\

I do the same!!!

trudybustard.bsky.social•200 days ago

Ok, I understand. I am a shy, boring Canadian that loves scrolling but afraid of posting because Twitter was SO ruthlessly mean. I will fill in some items on my Bio…. And then try to graduate to posting.

indyrefugee.bsky.social•200 days ago

jsyk, even a comment like this helps!
