one of the things we havent done on here yet is cancelling somebody for "liking" a post. feels like that's coming

followed by the inevitable "you didn't like my post, therefore you're not an ally — canceled!"

Not to mention people who like but not repost. Canceled!

OK, but real talk: people who reply to agree with you but don't like your post deserve to be canceled. This is my One True Social Media Take

Cancellation for everyone!

Hey, I just arrived.

I generally forget to hit the like button before replying. Then I come back 15 minutes later and 'like' it because I remembered.

You're absolutely right.

prudent posters will include a "likes do not imply likes" disclaimer in their bios, that should clear things up

that's how i get got. i throw around my likes like candy and just know my carelessness will come back to bite me

my sweet summer child,

I'm just a career lurker and people have blocked me. I can only assume it's based off my liked posts and not my incredibly sporadic posts and replies

some of the most unhinged Pal flag posters were starting to go down that hole, though I don't see it behind my wall of blocks anymore

You still have to work to find likes.

Everyone who doesn't "like" this post is cancelled

that has happened, lol

they're gonna randomly make other people's likes viewable and suddenly a bunch of guys will delete their accounts

Somebody will have to make bot that blocks you for liking a post. That was a fun phase on Twitter.

Being able to chainblock people who liked transphobic posts was one of the things that made the site useable. Just *bam* 5k transphobes I never even had to look at.

Going to advertise blockenheimer.click again, since it does this exact thing

Blockenheimer for Blueskyblockenheimer.click

not that there’s a whole lot of transphobes here but still, it’s a good tool to have

Oo, thanks. Forearmed is… forewarned? That’s not it… whatever, thank you!

It will soon and then if you're a mod on a subreddit and/or Discord server people will point it out on those instances. Honestly some people have nothing better to do.

BLOCKED!

Honestly the only negative experience that I've had so far is the guy who tried to accuse me of saying some horrible stuff about immigrant taxi drivers... And then he realized he completely misunderstood what I was saying and apologized after a day so.. still progress here :D

i feel like the fact one has to make a conscious choice to move social media platforms here means that it's mostly conscious people on bluesky,

Takes more effort, which is a good thing imo

I see plenty of kangaroo courts in session, so we're getting close.

I'd fight god if they tried to get on my ass about likes.
