Hey folks, a lot of Reply Guy trolls and disinformation bots out there. Remember, if the vibe feels of, if someone’s saying something so dumb/shitty they * must* be misinformed and can be educated — block and move on. Check the profile, always check the profile! 1/ - ThreadSky

The truth is usually in the replies 😉

dawnddurante.bsky.social•47 days ago

This is great! Thank you. (Now I have to go brush my teeth. I forgot.)

56jaytee.bsky.social•49 days ago

Remember to check for :
1)Bots-several have exact same memes or posts;
2)Guy posts- 0-3 posts of that guy only- eager to lure you away by exclusive DM;
3)MAGA creep-slanders you as libtard or argues about their right to carry guns, or to menace minorities living legally in America by video or meme

What is #bluesky doing about the bots???

johnrogers.bsky.social•49 days ago

Do they have 0 posts but many replies? Follow a crazy number of people? Block and move on! By engaging you are *helping* them. 2/

johnrogers.bsky.social•49 days ago

If you’d like, go check their followers. See all those sex bots and content scrapers and Resistance bots? Block them too, if you want to take the time. 3/

johnrogers.bsky.social•49 days ago

But honestly, the main thing is, block and move on. We are not here to win the internet. We are here to see writing and reviews and such by cool people we might not ordinarily be familiar with, and to share our weird shit with like-minded weirdos 4/

rustyrussell.bsky.social•47 days ago

Well said 😊

56jaytee.bsky.social•49 days ago

More importantly trying to make them see truth is a useless endeavor always bc they refuse to believe anything coming from Democrats or even MSM except Fox News (🦊 bs news) refusal to educate themselves or their children or invest in a book, magazine, even encyclopedia that shows kids the truth-

Banning books and signing up for every dubious conspiracy theory, believe his lies -continue to send cash-incl buying goods on offer by Trump for sale to raise cash for his legal defense
Trump in his second term will screw them-they will make him pay-Republicans were the main Investigators of Jan 6

It’s just good social media habits, like brushing your teeth or pulling up weeds. You are allowed to vibe check. You’re a person, not a collection of intellectual stances to be interrogated. Listen to your gut. 5/5

Anyone who wants more detailed information about how to spot this stuf should check out rahaeli's #badactorbingo threads. Really good stuff.

ADDENDUM: Also, any Roman statue busts as icons. Obviously.

andymeyers10.bsky.social•49 days ago

The addendum made me look closer at your icon. Is that an Aldis Hodge?

jenebbeler.bsky.social•47 days ago

Ok, but I’m a Roman historian. Can I get a dispensation for this? I can’t cede all ground to the Viking bros.

jprobichaud.bsky.social•49 days ago

Amazing how much all of this is designed to make people forget that they're people.

johnrogers.bsky.social•49 days ago

Modern society is dehumanizing, and the mission of the 21st Century will be unraveling that.

tsluikart.bsky.social•49 days ago

Pens, John - we're here to talk about pens. 🥰

johnrogers.bsky.social•49 days ago

“Weird interests” includes our kinks.

tsluikart.bsky.social•49 days ago

I did check the spelling on that multiple times before I sent it.

ethnierocks.bsky.social•49 days ago

But are we in fact the REAL weirdos?
Hell I know I’m a weirdo always have been to working class & middle class Tory gals
But I would argue we ain’t the weirdos it’s all the right wing fuckers who are fucking up the planet & it starts with their denial of climate change?!?

56jaytee.bsky.social•49 days ago

If anything those that have continued violence for the idiot that stole the WH twice; argue re right to bear arms or racist rhetorical bs; or pushing religion with politics; or continued harassing Dems are MAGA most were victimized all their lives bc they refuse to learn the facts of any situation

56jaytee.bsky.social•49 days ago

We can’t lose hope, we need to become a strong tight knit group or we will continue to lose elections to asshats like Trump- if he even relinquishes the WH in 2028- happily the Jack Smith Report is out and trumps actions are available for US to see

56jaytee.bsky.social•49 days ago

Dems aren’t weird-we see what needs to be done and do it- but we have to believe in ourselves and our party-when Hillary ran we were all excited but thought she had it in the bag- she lost no surprise
ALL of US Need to VOTE no matter what, it’s apparent after seeing the numbers of Dem voters 2024

ethnierocks.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’ve said from the start of this fuck up the USA has created a MONSTER for the WORLD to deal with (you think it’s onlyYOU who will be affected?)
I’ve also said that too many were scared of the violence that would ensue AGAIN if the rapist hadn’t won stayed away in their droves as they were SCARED

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•49 days ago

But what if they have wrong thoughts about the Martian Manhunter, John?

johnrogers.bsky.social•49 days ago

Well then they’re already going to hell, Kurt. No need to punish them further.

richardhowe.bsky.social•49 days ago

J’Onn would probably forgive them anyway.

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•49 days ago

I would maintain that their suffering should begin sooner, but okay. Maybe.

hunterblackcomx.bsky.social•49 days ago

Um...what are the "wrong" thoughts about Martian Manhunter?

*Looks nervously at computer*

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•49 days ago

Just be careful, Justin Peniston.

Just be careful.

93418.bsky.social•49 days ago

No Chocos for them.

dotc-boston.bsky.social•49 days ago

Oh dear… I have all replies with barely any posts… I’m shy & like responding. I swear I’m not a bot! Uh… I like Pilot G-2 pens, XF (05). That’s not something a bot would say, surely…

filthycreature.bsky.social•49 days ago

RFK Jr invented the polio vaccine.

photocat24.bsky.social•47 days ago

I blocked and reported a lot today.

cdbeee.bsky.social•47 days ago

Most of the ones I come across are 0 and 0, no posts, no replies so far. I block and list them first.

rhondareger.bsky.social•49 days ago

Block and report.

mystalope.bsky.social•47 days ago

I made a new list the other night of MAGA / deplorables to block:

jujubigdog.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hmmmmmm, looks like your block list has been blocked.

mystalope.bsky.social•47 days ago

Oh? You can’t see the list of names?

jujubigdog.bsky.social•47 days ago

No, just tried again this morning. I only see a a flickering white graphic with a large black symbol of # and then beneath that is the flickering written message saying: "This feed is empty"
