Don't quote, don't dunk, don't screenshot, don't engage.
Block and mute!
It's more effective here than anywhere else.
Trolls need reactions from us in order to succeed.
Starve them.

Sad day. The AEW haters have found BlueSky and I’m seeing way more hate for AEW than I’ve ever seen on here. I guess the good vibes were fun while they lasted but it’s basically just X 2.0 now. Funny that it happened on a PPV day.

It's amazing. And it makes me a little sad for what *could have* been with social media over the years. But I'm so happy we get to have it now!
and then just get on with their lives

The nice thing about BlueSky is, blocking WORKS! They literally disappear. But you have to do it, and change how you think of engaging with them (ie: don't 😂).
Now THAT was very well said.
That's why it's best to give them the silent treatment. I know for a fact people can't stand that. When you want some response and you're not getting anything.
Problem in X started when we (aew fans) started engaging more with bad faith haters trying to prove they were wrong than with other fans cause that made them grow in numbers
People should not try to prove they’re wrong by answering, they don’t care about being wrong, they even know they are
They need to stop trying to beat each other and focus on themselves.
We don't need another 20yrs of zero options.
They're not in it for constructive convos in good faith. They're in it for engagement. And that doesn't work here.
Same with platforming defenses. Doesn't work the same!
I don't want any of that in my sphere anymore. We can talk, discuss, critique, analyze, etc, in good faith.
We don't need to revert to extreme tendencies here.
But even for me, all caps exclamation points are fun, but it's not the *only way* I think, talk, and operate!
There's room for nuance. But not if we let bad habits override the good thing we've got here. ❤️👊
They come here
Try their rage bait bullshit
Get ignored
Leave
Get salty because moderation tools work & no one wants that corporate algorithm rage feuled bs.
Blue skies are clear skies! Let's keep it that way.
Hope the intent was clear! ❤️
This isn't a knock, just helpful advice. Troll baiting doesn't work here, but only if you starve them.
Happy PPV day! ❤️
Someone from Twitter said that they used to block 50-60 accounts per day. That's probably an annoyance, after a while.
There's good & bad on every platform. But if it's more manageable, it must be a relief!
