More details about this for new folks, please?

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

Trolls purporting to be Kiwifarms are making sockpuppet accounts & spamming likes on target accounts' posts / comments to harass.

DON'T screenshot and post these kinds of trolls; they want that reaction. DON'T give it to them.

Add them to blocklists, report them to labeler services, block them.


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

In short:

There's a type of troll that tries to get as much attention as they possibly can, through outrage or followback spam or likespam, so they can then pivot to harassing a specific target or group to a large audience. Blocks here prevent it.

Denying hate groups & trolls the Oxygen of Amplification

BlueSky's "Nuclear Block" feature works for this purpose.

We don't dunk on or entertain bigots. They get their fuel supply choked off by the block.

The block list curators have some select big blue accounts buried on some of those lists. Read through them first.


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

I'm digging thru to make sure my lists are vetted - the "hate enablers" list isn't vetted and says so, & is a first-pass filter.

I think @dashwallkick.bsky.social might be a false positive on the Trolling/TriggerinTheLibs feed


Godspeed You! Woke Moralists (@dashwallkick.bsky.social):

I definitely do not do that, unless you mean antagonizing then from the left in which case oh yeah I definitely do that


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

There was an incident like a slapfight or beef that precipitated the listing. It wasn't a pattern.


Godspeed You! Woke Moralists (@dashwallkick.bsky.social):

That's usually the case I've found

I'll take that account off; there was something that was more like an internecine beef that precipitated that listing.

I don't think Jim Stewartson, John Luc Potcard or Palmer Report do that.


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

I don't believe I have any of those people listed.
