“why isn’t posting anymore?”
the answer is pretty much always that people tore them to shreds for something they did not remotely deserve being torn to shreds for, and did it over and over until they decided they were happier offline

it will never get better than a lady making chili for her neighbours who were super happy to get it and did odd jobs for her as thanks being mass attacked on the internet as cruel and selfish because if they didnt like chili the emotional labour of chucking it away would have been debilitating

I feel weird being aware of something so unrelated to myself but it’s hard not to get caught up in some story that is happening where i can only see a small sliver of.
I was obviously the prick in the situation and deserved the block.
I think everybody lets their inner idiot take over when they are online, especially if they post anonymously
I still found it a lot more interactive that twitter
I also find you’ll get a lot more interaction commenting on others posts than making your own usually, unless it’s tagged just right for maximum visibility etc
Back Nicole!
Almost as if it was always about one' pride and ego.
Reminds me of the old Fandom Wank adage “we eat our own.”
After 2 weeks here, I have 90 followers and no way to hard block anyone.
If I'm lucky, they will ignore me too.
chinch and rufus were awash with panache, and bluesky is lesser for their absence
all that being said, i can totes understand why she left. people are murderously insufferable sometimes
- Me, probably
I'm not saying that you had any responsibility to help the poor sod.
Just a wait, "what are you even actually talking about?" Moment.
*sigh*
We need a pro-social algorithm.
My usenet experience is exactly why I hope I never "go viral" and am happy to be a small account.
(Harassment has gotten a lot more advanced, in bad ways, since that time, as well.)
"Fuck you ableist. I hope you unalive yourself."
Seriously, why would anyone want to leave? Just rainbows and sunshine all day long.
But yeah, her books and nebula vids have been really good. There is no need to interact with social media.

A weird genuine shock that people can be irrationally mean at times.
You would understand that on the internet, people will go to release stress.
If they are not doxing, stalking, or sending direct messages. They are just reacting to public information
but yes I think the aftereffects of twitter made it too hard to deal with
(except hers obviously, can't blame her, hope she and her pig and her godawful cat-demon are thriving)
But she and Rufus and Frost all seem good.
not for like, being a bad person cuz I don't think she is, but for thinking she knows better than everyone about these kinds of things and refusing to listen when people correct her, then putting the wrong shit in the goddamn newspaper
