I think some people learned today that they weren’t as famous as they thought. That not everyone finds rudeness without context funny. Satire isn’t as simple as, “Be cruel and then say, ‘It was a joke.’” Never was.
Idk anyone who gets upset; most of us just block and move on to better content.
Satire and "trolling", which is what his whole page gives off, are not even remotely the same thing. I found him for the first time ever today and blocked him lmao
You made it farther than me. Sometimes I’ll check a page; didn’t seem worth it here 🤷🏼♀️ It seems the other person who replied tried to convince me he’s funny one more time then blocked? Isn’t it okay for ppl to (not) like different things?
And yes! You got it 🎯Satire ≠ trolling
Takes nuance & effort
I'm not a kid but didn't know what dril was until today..so..um, I think its just some ppl don't know, and if u don't know, someone has to tell you lol
Yeah tbh I've seen his posts pop up every year or so on various social media, so I just assumed it's one of those famous meme accounts but never bothered to look up why.
What a lot of people are missing is that he posts in character. Nothing he posts is sincere. absurdist/surrealist humor
A lot of the humor here has a few layers of irony. Like jokes so bad they wrap around to being funny again because they're so bad, so many are understandably confused
I think most of us who came from TikTok are just kind of sick of internet trollery. TikTok was a generally supportive space; having it taken away & migrating to a new platform of snarky Gen Xers (I’m a mil) kind of sucks 🤷🏻♀️
It was a lot less rampant than it is here, both from creators and commenters. In general, I felt it was a positive space; if it wasn’t for you, perhaps you sought out troll-y content & your algorithm curated negativity.
Also, I've seen people who put on the false appearances that your pollyanna butt is putting forth. You do it, in order so that you can get away with hurting people
Trust nobody who talks about "positive spaces"--they always end up being total monsters
And... "Uses Pollyanna appearance to try to control people around them" person there just blocked me. Confirming my understanding of what exactly they always were
You know, after lying about what is going on with dril's total fscking shullbit
I get Dril’s bit; I used Twitter back in the day, but left due to Musk attaining it AND bc it was a pretty negative space. I’m tired of snark, I’m tired of sarcasm, I’m tired of punching down or laterally. It’s boring & basic. Grow up already.
Katrina, I blocked you bc you’re being abusive for no reason. I’m not being a PollyAnna - I’m trying to have a conversation and you’re going off the rails. If TT didn’t serve you, ok. That’s fine. But don’t tell me I’m lying about MY experience there. THAT’S bullshit.
Wow. You seem really angry, which sucks - it’s a shit feeling. I’m angry, too, but I’m not about to go around alienating people who were just trying to have a conversation.
I’m queer and live in a small town. TT gave me a connection to others like me bc real life doesn’t.
Some guy posts stuff that is generally upsetting, but at the end of the day, entirely harmless. Worst case scenario, is he sometimes can cause a Zen Buddhist style enlightenment--hate it when he does that >.>'
And stow the "I'm the only gay in the entire village" routine >.>'
No, it isn't that "I am really angry"... it is because I've ran into abusive people who talk JUST LIKE YOU, and recognise the traits
And it isn't about "going around alienating people having a conversation"; it is some jack off posting sentences that instill a similar sensation as the word "moist"
I’m not using it any longer - the bootlicking Trump message folks are seeing upon signing back in left a bad taste in my mouth, as did Shou reposting Charlie Kirk.
Where are you seeing this? I feel like I'm doing Bluesky wrong, because my feed is just pictures of flowers, sunsets, cute animals, and a few random things like your posts
Flowers, sunsets, cute animals and random things is why I have social media in the first place. Right now my Bluesky feed is all serious sh!t and politics. I hate it. Please share where I can find cute animal and nature stuff on Bluesky. Thank you in advance.
I read this before going back to my feed and immediately being greeted by two cat posts. I'm going to give you credit for alerting my algorithm to show me more cute animals. Thanks.
took me awhile to get rid of the cats. I just started blocking every cat post! I still get cats but not many. Try hashtags and starter packs from people w your interests. I think the flowers, sunsets etc are from choosing “interests” at the beginning.
In the "discover" feed, which I think is where the algorithm gives you stuff, click the 3 dots on each post and do "show less/more like this". Maybe after ~50 of this, as long as you're consistent about what you _do_ like, it'll gradually figure it out. That's what worked for me! Took maybe 2 days?

I guess I need to go find out what people are talking about with the Drill thing?
I know everyone on bluesky is a hundred years old and no help so I'm on my own.
I dislike dril because he's not all that funny
We are not the same
The issue is more _HOW_ you respond to dril saying upsetting things

as for why people are upset, he made a joke that involved tiktok and that was enough to get people angry

Bold move, Cotton. Let's see how this works out
