How dare you talk about musicals !!!
Looking it up, it’s because you’ve got an AI profile picture
Oh lmao, missed that you’d already said it
FFS not now universe!
“Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully. The message that follows is vital to the future of you all.”
Sounds like spam. I’d block you as well /j
I have a very specific Scandinavia-themed blocklist, you know…
I hadn’t seen any specifics, though, just:
AI shills and other deviants who worship the family feud generators. I make no value judgement against true AI, simply idiots who think the LLM machines are actually doing anything of value while they boil the oceans and steal from hard working people.
Blocking people due to having an ai generated profile picture seems a bit extreme. Wonder if they’d have liked me better back when I was interested in AI, but still had a profile picture I drew?
I’ll admit, one entry on your block list seemed odd to me. Maybe they’re Scandinavian, and I didn’t know it…
Fortunately, Finland isn’t technically a part of Scandinavia, so I’ll be fine
ive been really struggling with motivation recently and its getting me down, I hope to actually achieve some stuff today though.
I thought the whole sales pitch of BlueSky was that people were supposed to be nice over there? Seems like everyone is mean all over.
Thanks for that.
It’s interesting what information is publicly available. Could something like that cost a job interview if one is blocked by too many people and, let’s say, an AI does the pre-filtering of job applications? Probably.
I am on a block list with people to be avoided and their followers. As my interaction with people on Bluesky is minimal, I assume I followed someone to be informed (not necessarily to agree) and, yeah, now I am someone to be avoided.
Strange. You would think one had to at least share stuff from “people to be avoided” to be avoided oneself.
One of the 14 people who block me is actually an old acquaintance. I do not think we have any beef. But who knows.
We had a school shooting today in Sweden. It was at a school for adults who wanted to improve their high school grades. At least 10 dead, including the shooter. It makes me really sad to see this kind of random violence.
Welcome to the Internet, you must be new here.
Well, TARDIS Guide is (pretty much genuinely) the only exception.
Oh yes, it was all over the headlines over here as well! Terrible news! I wish all the best to you and Sweden and the friends and families of the victims and students and staff at that school.
Well, a lot of the other people on that “Machine Perverts” block list seem to be nice.
I’m actually following several lists of AI people, and it means I’m always seeing them post a bunch of neat art.
No problem.
And it seems to me like Bluesky makes it very easy to follow or block a list of people without really knowing individual specifics on who you just blocked or followed.
You can also click on people blocking you and bring up who they were blocking, and some people sure block a lot of people…
I am curious about your trip to Thailand @ItsR0b0tNinja. Would you be comfortable sharing any details of your itinerary? (I’ve actually booked a trip in the region with a tour company for late spring, so I am interested in comparing notes)
Diamond, a major comics distributor which my local shop uses, has gone bust.
That’s my future comic reading screwed up
My Hiby R4 finally arrived. Spent the whole day setting it up. (I’ve got a huge music and audio library)
This also means bad things for Free Comic Book Day this year.
Thankfully no DW comic coming out that I’ll miss!
