you have to grow as a social media user. when you’re new to it you get pulled into beef, then you gain confidence and start beef, then you mature and back away to simply observe and comment on beef, and finally you ignore beef and just do your own little posts

1) This was a spam network shared internally at Bluesky for investigation on spam likes. 2) I misclicked/unclicked, but a harassment bot picked it up 3) I continue to be harassed about it a year later

I'm offering a genuine response that I don't see the need for this continually to be raised.
