I know this website has truly replaced Twitter because I'm now regularly getting people who don't follow me in my mentions assuming I don't know anything about the thing I'm posting about.

Something happens to the mind of many posters once they hit like 5k or so followers where they start to genuinely believe they are experts on everything. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you.
Oh ya???… I doubt it! [troll drops mike, slam dunks over head, shatters back board, does 3 backflips as landing, busts out a triple axel, vanishes never to be heard from again]
You mean new random followers with womanly profile pictures and no posts and lottsa followers? It's like the ads on most electrician or plumber youtube.
Captain Obvious has been blacklisted
and driven off social media, and out of the National Discourse by Israelis,
who are now claiming he’s an
antisemite.
This is going to have negative

for quite some time~
Yesterday someone aggressively expected me to argue something tangentially related to the OP despite the fact I had zero time to relitigate an old news story. Really cornering me, and I was like wow Twitter is back baby.
I’ve been lucky coz I haven’t seen any of that yet but I also did that moderation list thing :0 so it automatically blocks all the accounts that fall under the list I sub to 😭 been so helpful to my mental health
I had that, until they realized I was a dude. Than it was spambots, mostly of ladies with big butts. I call them "spambutts" because I'm an uncle, and bad jokes are kind of our thing.
I find that a bit exciting though. But I am a woman in my field so I am permanently assumed to not know what I am talking about 🤷♀️ so i get a kind of buzz from enlightening the doubters
Yeah I got a guy telling me i stole some art from other sites, he then proceeds to link to my accounts on those sites and says it's "weird" that we have the same usernames
I'm the opposite. Because I don't know anyone here, I assume everyone has been a big Twitterer for decades and is now here. I rarely used Twitter, I was always more of a reddit and Facebook girly, but I really like bluesky. Reddit and bsky is all I have now
Followed by the jocular replies to a post like this, which you're never quite sure whether they're "oh, mate, solidarity" or "aren't I clever! I got your point! Give me your approval!"
The great thing about BlueSky's moderation, is that if you block someone , then it's not you that cannot see them, they are removed from everyone's view.. it dampens down a pile on by other idiots
BlueSky is very quick to jump on any reported account , I have created (and also have subscribed to other) block lists, which followers can subscribe to. If an account eventually disappears from a blocklist, then Bluesky have banned it or the account was deactivated by the troll farm.
No need for that type of response Lucy. People are entitled to voice an option and it wasn't a nasty comment. In order to gain traction with friendly or constructive debate, you need to follow and engage sensibly and constructively. Not be passive aggressive
Now who is trying to stop someone from voicing their opinion? I enjoy a space for like-minded civil people without the idea of having to be argumentative. I don’t find it to be boring at all. I find it refreshing. It is my opinion and I stand by it. I left X bc of the arguments.
The platform for many may appear a bit quiet and "boring" at first, but that is what feeds of interest topics are for.. find the right one and start to build a following to engage with. It takes time to build engagement
I hope you are correct yet I sense many have drawn lines and don't want to discuss uncomfortable facets of a topic. Maybe this is more related to political discussions where contributors are tied to party doctrine / propaganda
If you feel that you are shouting into an echo chamber when trying to debate something, you are best to simply stop engaging and Mute them. Use Block and/or Block & Report if they are causing harm to others or have the potential to cause harm.
Quite a few in the past couple of days. I was locked onto by a Porn BOT and had a stream of Busty AI followers advertising their "services". It was like whack a mole for a couple of hours . But I smashed em
I have some tips on how to detect them on my posts. The problem is that many innocent followers have them also in their follower lists and that is how they propagate. It's always best to do an audit on your followers every few days to assess their legitimacy..as it protects others too
To me that's a good thing. We can learn from each other but the X and Newsmax spoilers need to stay out because it's difficult to learn anything from spoilers and loons.
Subscribe to block lists which you can easily find on here. These are just trolls which you will get anywhere. Also start collating your own block lists via Moderation tools so that you can cut them off at source..oh and report if they are hateful responses
I heard Twitter was up for sale for 3 million dollars because Bluesky was just killing it. Tesla boi wants to cut his losses before it's completely worthless.
Yeah, that just happened to me and I was instantly transported back to my old Twitter fights and it filled me with dread. How do we stop stupidity & bots?

1. I wish more people used this site.
2. Oh no.
Tabor Wells he searches for the porn Bots/ scammers and has block lists. Hope this helps.
I don't think that's a 'Twitter' thing as it is a 'human' thing. There's always somebody who assumes the worst of what somebody is saying...

Sorry mates.
I love it here.
Grace and peace to you.
27.4 million registered users now!

Yes, people are assuming or judging based on a single post or sentence. That's a common thing on all social media though.
You have misunderstood your own posts and the responses to them.
Fleeing FB is fun...
We should instead of poor people gladiators have rich people gladiators, and I bet Zuck would defeat Apartheid Clyde.
Until now I only blocked suspected accounts, if they engaged further.
Or nice*r*.
😎
Progress on my way
Particularly when it’s something you personally experienced or participated in when they were in diapers.
(I am sometimes having difficulties writing/explaining but)
Take care!
And also! I am still new to bskye but i think this is a nice place; really!
