It was bound to happen

The platform can do a lot but users can pretty easily spot the fakes and propagandists and it's really up to us to shun them.

noraglass.bsky.social•111 days ago

Not just shun - report, then block.

Make it harder for them to post their BS.

"Matroska" is derived from matryoshka (Russian: матрёшка [mɐˈtrʲɵʂkə]), the Russian word for the hollow wooden dolls which open to expose another smaller doll, that in turn opens to expose another doll, and so on.

Me too. I didn't know it had a name. Pornbotted.

It's what I call it.

melooklisten.bsky.social•111 days ago

Change the settings on your profile to block nudity. That helps a lot.

Thank you!

Any pro-Russian message would stand out, you’d think.

Subscribe to this labeler, choose between:

• getting warned on Matryoshka's new posts with fake videos as you encounter them

• or hiding them for you altogether:
