People looking over the accounts that have blocked them on here, whereas I'm more interested in this account that never posts and seems to have a script running that just blocks everyone. Looks like a block every three seconds - 20 blocks a minute - and they've been at it for months.

I checked the most recently blocked account on that list to see if it's hooked up to just block accounts whenever they post, but that account hasn't been active in several months. I'm curious what their block method is, as well as the reason for it all.

Idk if it’s the same account but when I looked it had posts. They were talking to someone about the speed, said it would take 21 months or something? Or had been going that long? And then the talked about the effect of hosting your own server/renting one. Sorry for my shitty adhd memory/recall.

I don't know what they're doing. I assume there's a limit to how many you can block in a day, but I think they've been at the top of the Blocking list for quite a while. Perhaps it's an ineffective DDoS attack?

He probably has to have it set up to automatically block because he has no hands to operate the block button. How do you even use a phone when you’re a giant worm?

*pushes up glasses* Well, akshully… this would just be a DoS attack. Nothing “Distributed” about this. Definitely ineffective though!

There's another, expertboykisser, that's blocked everyone... except you?

I checked and @boykisser.expert has been deactivated.

Seems to go by (blocked) account creation date. So trundling through the logs from when people signed up

I just can't see caring why some rando blocked anybody, though 🤷🏼‍♀️ It has zero effect on your life if they have some weird agenda that's a burden only to themselves. Sorry...

Perhaps it's their form of creating a Bluesky DM: block everyone except for a single person, before they post their first post.

Yeah well fuck em’! 😒 What’s the worst they can do? Block me? 🤷🏽‍♂️ They provide nothing I’m interested in and vise-versa. ✌🏽

They got me December 26th. Boxing Day! I guess robots don't get time off for Christmas.

And we'll not be able to see the uprising coming - because we've been blocked!

I blocked it also. Reading the replies its some sort of bot 🤖 it sounds like. Weird bot.

my guess is they were invite code farms

Haha, I guess just give it time...! They blocked 20,000 in the last 24hrs so I'm sure your time will come.

This tool doesn’t work well anymore. There are people that have me blocked that don’t show up when I search myself

I guess since Bluesky opened up and the account numbers doubled overnight it's getting a lot harder to have tools that can check these things accurately. Many are limited to just the activity in the last 24hrs now. Shame, when it as under 1m people here there were some cool checkers.

Huh, they got me too! Some kind of experiment?
