100 x THIS!
Interacting with posts is fine (and what BSky is for) but if you see someone bantering with friends - especially if it's flirtatious or sexually suggestive - I promise you that you do not need to get involved.
Think "would I say this to a stranger?" if the answer is no, then don't.

Friendly reminder that you do not need to comment weird things on people’s posts. Especially if they’re complete strangers to you.

I'm still fairly new to knowing you all but I think this is something that shouldn't need saying for sure!
I honestly can't believe some people take explicit spongebob memes as "omfg she wants to be hit on" 😭
Who looks at that as an invitation to flirt?
Remember my TL was 100% SpongeBob lol
I completely agree. Too many edgelords and people who are just outright disrespectful nowadays but it doesn't seem like it will stop any time soon sadly
Like, just read the room dude. And don’t be a creep.
I mean, I wouldn’t come at you with “The Witcher 3 sucks” if I didn’t know you 😅😇
And I wouldn't tell you to grow up and play again if I didn't know you back 🤣🤪
But as you say, there are definite boundaries in place and some seem to ignore that! 💗
I am like really shy to talk to ppl irl unless I know them so I'm more outgoing online
100%, I get that it's a public platform but I'd argue you still need to be at least a bit socially conscious 🤣
Some choose to take it further than a weird comment and into DMs and just no actually, you don't have to do that 😬
That's why we need to make sure to call people out straight away. Scare away the creeps! 😂
Even some instances where I've been moots with someone for a while.
I agree, but depending on the situation, I choose to give the benefit of the doubt before putting anyone on blast bc within reason, we've all misread the room in the past.
And yeah, I get what you mean.. I suppose it depends on how bad/weird the comment is, but when they do it repeatedly, that's when it becomes a real issue.
I only follow people I have rapport with or feel I can trust and even that isn't enough sometimes!
It's about those who go too far too quickly and/or think that your posts are serious and take that as an invitation to be weird in general.
but you're absolutely right, I try to be as understanding as possible but sometimes people just push it a bit too far.
and with experiences I've had recently, some people don't seem to know I'm joking! 😬
Just know that you are *always* welcome in my comments! 💗
But yes absolutely not 😭 idk where people get the confidence
We've all 'put our foot in it' socially in the past, but some of these comments and situations go a bit further than that and it should be called out
I think these people should always be called out personally, if it causes a bit of drama then who cares. Better that others understand who they're dealing with.
I prefer to try and keep things as calm as possible so if I ever do it publicly that's when you know its bad 🫣
Yep, I know if I ever see that from you then it's really damn bad 🤣.
