I’ve refined my strategy on here to preemptively blocking anyone who might possibly not be real.

All these platforms give me a sometimes liberating but mostly sinking feeling that I myself might possibly not be real.

Yeah, same.

Worst cover of “You’re Just Too Good To Be True” ever

Same. I do hope the "remove follower" option manifests in bsky's future.

I didn't try it but perhaps you can remove a follower by first blocking and afterwards unblocking them? It was called soft blocking on twitter.

That doesn’t work on this platform, unfortunately

Yeah, I just tried.

What happens when we block them? Are they still “following” us but just can’t see anything we post?

It's like you no longer exist to them, and vice versa (even on other people's timelines) https://bsky.app/profile/tiffanyleigh.bsky.social/post/3l3awhww6eu2s

Got it, thanks!! For some reason in the context of this thread my brain was like “wait are they still kinda there” 😂

What about REEL people though?
lol I'm sorry I'll see myself out now.

What about friendly ghosts?

My friend Tyler Durden told me the same thing.

At first I read this as “reified” :)

Me too! Sorry to anyone I’m wrong about, I guess!
