Bard spotting on Bluesky 08 November 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

When Reddit set up proper blocking, one of the ringleaders of a long running harassment & manipulation group that had plagued the site for over a decade,

Went on an extended "we are fricked" villain monologue. Full meltdown.

The group left reddit shortly after & moved offsite.

Anna Phylaxis (@quatoria.bsky.social):

Some of us not only like fighting, we got way too good at it on twitter, and we intentionally learned to step the heck back, because it turns out that getting good at fighting, and liking fighting, and fighting all the time are AWFUL FOR YR MENTAL HEALTH.

Was that KiA?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

In part; It was mostly the CringeAnarchy / CringeTopia group - who had helped / supported / co-operated with KiA / TiA / SJiA

They moved en masse to Twitter when Musk acquired it, in the span of a few months.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The big disinfo subreddits — CringeTopia, WatchRedditDie, & G*merGate ecosystem subs — largely abandoned Reddit when the platform implemented true user blocking, automated ban evasion enforcement, & established a rule against community interference. They'd demanded access to harass people for years.
