I am so glad it’s not just me!

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

You can't even remove them from your followers on here either...

drstevenchapman.bsky.social•54 days ago

Just worried that there’s some key word I’ve used that attracts them. At least I can ignore them

iggypopbarker.bsky.social•54 days ago

Can you not block them?

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

You can. But it doesn't remove them from your followers count.

iggypopbarker.bsky.social•54 days ago

That's a bit weird.

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah.

jnlangton.bsky.social•53 days ago

your unlucky
not getting any here

ineeddirection.bsky.social•53 days ago

well i'm glad you're not

jnlangton.bsky.social•53 days ago

thanks

glennairey.bsky.social•54 days ago

Same.

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

The honeymoon period of this being the nicest platform is over ;)

glennairey.bsky.social•54 days ago

I suppose it’s all relative 🙂

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

Aye!

adam0407.bsky.social•54 days ago

Same. Blocking them seems to remove them from your followers (and is quite satisfying).

stevetheplanner.bsky.social•54 days ago

….. and there was me thinking that I’d suddenly become super popular with scantily clad teenagers … lol.

More seriously, it sucks big time, particularly because there’s nothing we can do but block them.

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yep. I wonder if they ever follow anyone who actually does want to engage with them or if every one blocks them.

Blocking them seems to remove them from your followers

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

It doesn't. Your followers count doesn't go down when you block them. And if you unblock, you'll see that they're still following them.
Bluesky don't currently have plans to allow you to totally remove a follower from your list. The decentralised servers make it harder to do...

sirkeith.bsky.social•54 days ago

Ah I see. As they don't appear on my followers list I thought they'd gone but yeah number doesn't change right enough

simonfinbow.bsky.social•54 days ago

Loads of Bots on here now. Such a shame.

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

It is. I report them all but I doubt any of them will get shut down.

arihat.bsky.social•54 days ago

Gah! I had one the other day. It’s inevitable unfortunately

ineeddirection.bsky.social•54 days ago

It is sadly. Keep that block button handy...
