Since when are you a mind reader, Awex? And how are your finals going?Awex Leal said:So, let's talk about why a bunch of KF accounts are popping up on Bluesky to begin with. What they're doing is target hunting, and the signal they're looking for is reactions. They're looking for reactions because, spoiler alert, there are not as many of them as they would like you to think.
They're also not as good at what they do as they would like you to think. The vast majority are lazy. They ARE dangerous, but they are opportunistic. The best thing you can do is to not publicly freak out or react if a KF account likes your tweets, follows you, or DMs you. Block them, move on.
Now this doesn't apply to everyone they target, unfortunately. It is sadly true that for some folks, they can ignore KF and "keep their heads down" all they want and KF will still go after them just as doggedly, if not more so. But those folks have a higher risk of being targeted to begin with.
The best way to not end up on their radar is to deny them the satisfaction of them knowing that you've noticed them, or that their automated bot is making you feel unsafe. It has liked 100s of posts in an hour; they can't & won't focus on you specifically unless you tell them the attack worked.

Again, LMFAO at being "jumpscared" by the name of a website. Also, wrong again, ding-dong. You tried to appoint yourself the Who Is Allowed To Have A Website decider and probably raped somebody. That got you the kind of attention that doesn't go away. You can't make the thread go away, but you could slow it to a crawl by completely dropping your efforts to shut down this forum, but you're going to have to make peace with "consent accident" following you for the rest of your life.Liz Fong-Jones said:Either: it's just a bot trying to jumpscare you, or you've already been screenshotted/archived. The correct action is the same for both: block and move on. You may be tempted to lock down and delete your profile, but if you do they're likely to take the clawback as an indication to push further.
We've compiled a blocklist in case you'd rather not see them at all*. But you don't need to use the blocklist to be safe (if they wanted to screenshot you, they could anyway). Ignoring them denies them attention and they'll get bored.
No, it's not, you weird little manipulator.Liz Fong-Jones said:It's natural to feel afraid or worried from such an interaction. If you are, process those feelings with a friend or trusted person in private, rather than in public view where your misery can become grist for someone's sadistic pleasure or, worse, an excuse to further harass and abuse you.
