Bard spotting on Bluesky 30 August 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The parent post is a shitpost, but —

There's a genre of troll who uses the sincere desire of certain people to (above and beyond any other consideration) Always Be Jihading their Enemy

To amplify harms and springboard into the attention of thousands, even millions.

We have to evolve beyond A.B.J.

e.w. niedermeyer (@niedermeyer.io):

when people are like "I just don't like the vibe on Bluesky"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Instead of

Always

Be

Jihading

— Downmarsey, Report, and Block — Never Engage

(I know — there's no Downmarsey here. The point still stands. Don't engage these jerks. Find people in your friend group whom you trust to run blocklists, & DM them the account names, instead. Deny them oxygen)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The people running block lists eventually will learn which other block list runners they can trust, form a group chat, and have a channel there called "Bannedidates" where they swap the lastest "Mower Buhbblez" accounts and cut them off from their targets, ruining their day

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They want to be screenshot and quote dunked and put on blast.

Freeze them out instead.
