Today's fun fact:

Lr* Lm*r's BlueSky account has accumulated exactly 0 new followers in the past week

Blocking Works, if you let it

Cut off their oxygen and let them starve of attention


Planet Nude (@planetnude.co):

Hi, you added my personal account @nudernix.bsky.social to a block list called "transphobes". I'd like to appeal. I'm absolutely and emphatically NOT a transphobe. I'm a progressive, an ally, and now many are blocking me who I support, including you. Can you please remove my account from this list?


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

@nudernix.bsky.social was added to the Transphobes blocklist on 11/30/2024 as a consequence of following one or more of the accounts purporting to be LibsOfTikTok. Those accounts no longer exist. To be removed, follow the appeals process - bsky.app/profile/skyw...

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

Blocklist Appeals Process

To appeal listings on blocklists I maintain, write an email to the current blocklist email address.

Appeals must be in good faith and formatted as follows:


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

Actually here I'll lift this and make a note for the future. You may have been induced to follow an account using an innocuous name / description which later flipped to LoTT.


Evan Nicks (@nudernix.bsky.social):

Thank you for the removal! I genuinely would NEVER knowingly follow LoTT or any account that did follow them. I don't have an explanation but I've somehow been added to several of these lists, and it's been very troubling for me as people I respect and support have blocked me.


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

The explanation is that on 11/29/2024 & 11/30/2024, your account was following an account that said it was Libs of TikTok. It may have "submarined" - created with a different username & description, collected some followers, and then changed its name.


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

So, I'm revetting the accounts I added on those two days and will write an advisory tonight about this possibility.

Evan Nicks (@nudernix.bsky.social):

Perhaps so. I've had the real LoTT account blocked since around that time—I don't know the exact date. In any case I try not to follow anyone who supports that kind of trash, so I'll probably subscribe to your block list now that I'm not on it 😅


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

Most of the accounts near yours on my list are MAGA types, but there are some apparent false positives, too, which makes me think that this hypothesis is the explanation. The main LoTT claiming account never changed its handle, so it was likely a troll-alike or you just misclicked. shrug
