Got spam today from someone trying to tap this new market and create a following.
Please don’t encourage them. If it catches on it will be terrible. Don’t let them destroy this for us.
As long as no Fed instance attempts to monetize content, these people will have no power. So subscribe to them, engage to them all you want, but absolutely shun any Fed instance that does anything but accept donations to keep the lights on. Money will always enshittify platforms and their content. Always.
We already have our local celebrities, anyway. And what good does it do them? Beans.
What ever happened to the guy who desperately needed to not shit for days?
That guy is full of it.
From “Nicole?”
This is someone that keeps creating new alts and spamming everyone with PMs. Someone noticed on a previous iteration where they posted a separate photo (of a buttplug) that the reflection in the photo was of an old, bald white guy. After being called out they immediately deleted the photo.
I don’t think it’s an influencer. I think it’s just a plain old scammer.
I’m left out of the Nicole club 😔
I just got hitI got that a few weeks ago. Such a weird spam.
Yeah, “Fediverse Girl”. Most lazy alias ever.
Report the accounts to the instance admins so they ban that asshole.
Yeah, I got that one too. I just immediately blocked the account and gave it no thought.
This is the way. My block list is very long since i block anything like that. Also bigots. So many bigots.
I agree, they have everywhere else it go online to push their BS.
I just blocked “her”, whoever that spammer claims to be.
I’ll encourage them to get a job
“But doing nothing and getting paid for it is my job!“
oi, hitting the critical mass of enough users to be interesting, but thankfully not at enough users where it is profitable for them yet. sigh
Ugh it’s like when Hank Green joined Bluesky and then immediately started tone policing and now all his videos are about how he’s a fragile little sad boy.
Stay in your fucking lane, YouTubers.
Well aren’t you insufferable.
I’m familiar with Hank Green, but I don’t actually follow him or have a bluesky account. Can you provide a link to an example or an explanation of what you mean?
Sorry, I have stuff to do today. You’re just as capable of looking him up.
Yeah, except what you consider as tone policing and someone else is completely different. This smells like you don’t want to stand up to your claim.
I didn’t mention it in my original comment, but I did actually do a search, and the only thing I found was him talking about how bluesky is better because it doesn’t do suppression of external links. Bluesky itself does not load with my current settings so I can’t scroll through his posts, but his recent YouTube videos seem pretty normal/benign from just the titles. Seems weird to unnecessarily attack Hank Green, but I am gonna guess that’s what they’re doing because I cannot find example or article him being problematic.
fragile little sad boy
…Isn’t he being treated for cancer?
He was and he’s now cancer free.
