Make blocklists. It's what I do. Find accounts & sort em thru. List the ones that don't like you, block em all, you don't have to. Please note that not all blocklists included here are of trolls. DMs always open. Left is Best.

If you are all going to run around yelling about how you want to make libs cry, insult people & make judgements on people, I'm not stopping you, but we certainly don't have to keep listening to all of you.

A work in progress, this is the master list, details below.

If I had a dime for every literal expression of the "No True Christian" fallacy I've seen in the wild on social media, I would eat well for a month or two off it.

The firehose is public, any jackass with an AI to train already has access to every single image. This is intentional, same reason why your list of people you block is public, built right into the system.

It's the "we have no input" part that's the problem.

Your images are already stolen.

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 1d

The thing with bluesky using AI to moderate images isn't that it's training on them, think for 10 fucking seconds about it, but that they are saying "yeah we outsourced that shit entirely, we got no control over it. It says label, we label" etc

If you or your family members or friends are feeling temptation to use that new fun looking Sora video app please let them know that you need a retinal scan to access it after you download the app and I'm guessing they'll use all your information for bad bad bad bad stuff

Not great considering they probably think everyone left of Pinochet is a commie.

Tell me again about how the left are the violent ones wishing death on their political opponents. I want to hear all about it (so I know to put you on a blocklist).

One thing I dislike is how a lot of purportedly lib/left online “activists” have picked up the same digital influence by-way-of inauthentic behavior and media manipulation tactics that worked for the right and then *use them against the same targets that the right does* expecting a different outcome

The fundamental truth of content moderation is that it never existed to protect users. It's the equivalent of HR, it exists to protect the company from legal and political liability.

Troll identification tip: RaHoWa is racist code for "Racial Holy War" and I don't need to even know what language that account's bio is in to know it needs to go in the Troll Silencer.

It's a good feeling to be farming someone's blocklist for my own blocklist and find a whole section there obviously farmed from my blocklist's additions from the day before. It means my work benefits more than just those who subscribe to my blocklists directly.

Troll Blocker @trollblocker.bsky.social · 3d

I can only assume I was correct since they are already suspended.

Troll Blocker @trollblocker.bsky.social · 3d

The exception to this is the Illuminati scammers, who are not only harmful as scammers, but also tend to perpetuate conspiracy theories by impersonating the subjects of such.

Troll Blocker @trollblocker.bsky.social · 3d

I don't normally deal with scammer-identification because I am more concerned with abusive trolls & I don't have the time or confidence to identify who is real & who is a scammer, but if you preemptively block me & all the popular anti-scam accounts, I can only assume you are a scammer.

i think it’s actually completely okay to say an algorithm is not a real person

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

They get suspended so quickly that I only occasionally even bother to search them out anymore.

Considering that profile picture is Beth Katehis, I feel quite confident that "Samantha" isn't a real person.

Wile E. Coyote over here dressed as a donkey, but people aren't falling for the Acme brand moderation list. Instead, they are following the people one by one.

A more knowledgeable person would know the difference between British and American punctuation conventions.

Considering the literally thousands of accounts I've seen celebrating George Floyd's death in the last few years, I'm not listening to any lectures about how "the left" celebrates killings.

My final straw was when they generated an AI podcast on one of my papers without prior consent.

Anyway, Academia.edu is a grift. This seems like a good final straw if you haven’t deleted your account.

This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

Yeah, He's wearing an Illuminatiam necklace. That's a sure sign of either an Illuminati scammer or someone scammed.
