man safeties are off from here through the election, i typically just block and ignore lowbie shitheels, but i have had my fill of smug vapid smarties who think they’re being clever by saying dumb and insulting shit, enjoy the wolves
I basically never respond at all and someone quote tweeted me rudely today and I was like fuck you
don’t care for “I’m just a tiny little guy” shit, if you’re going to complain about my followers responding then maybe don’t pick a fight
As somebody who likely will not (and has no interest in being) even a mid sized account I really don't get this attitude. There are people on the other end of these screen names. If you are an asshole it's crazy to expect them to be gracious about that for no reason
People get so weird in the mentions of people with lots of followers, and the threshold is lower on Bluesky than it was on Twitter -- I started getting Twitter 10k followers experiences on Bluesky around 2k. I wrote a thread about it a while back: bsky.app/profile/raha...
Okay, it's time again to talk about what the experience of having a social media account with a bunch of followers (*) is like.
(* "a bunch" of followers is platform dependent. I'm getting irritating shit at 2k on Bluesky I didn't get until 10k on Twitter.)
I think on bsky there's something about the way it grew, given it was by invite, that the posts by people who Know Their Shit are much more widely-read at a lower number of followers.
It's also the thing where they put your replies on the timelines of your followers even if they don't follow the person you're replying to, which I fucking despise.
