Bard spotting on Bluesky 08 November 2024

And this is a summary of everything I learned about extremists on social media from 2015-present:

They need and want an audience, to violate boundaries, to conquer.

They want you to agree to negotiate and dance with them, & thereby validate their ideology & purpose & ego

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.

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

Block them. Set up blocklists with your friends and family and classmates and etc.

Trust one another and get support from one another, to cut the harassers out of your life.

The thing they hate the most is us living our lives free of them.

I have not had many; however, the only way to get relief from the ones I have had is to block them. Otherwise, they would just keep piling on with nonsense and demeaning remarks.
