making me wish Bluesky had forum-style signatures, I'd line these up under my posts like doormats

IME, these are useful everywhere. I'd bet they get you blocked fast on FB, though.

lmao

weirdly they all seem to love them

We updated them, plus now you can buy stickers: donotreply.cards

These are great. My colleague @meganmorrone.bsky.social suggested this as an addition (obv. journalist-oriented) --> ""Do not reply with an observation that I already made in the article I just posted that you did not read"

In french, the black one, a little typo : "mon expérience vécue" (final "e" because "expérience" is feminine). Globally, french translations are excellent, and the idea is pure genius 👏👏👏

I can’t tell if these are meant to satirize OP tendencies or replier tendencies. But I don’t want to associate with anyone on either side of the implied discourse transactions

fyi @cooperlund.bsky.social

Some of the French in those is shaky or a mistranslation. Do you accept corrections from a native speaker?

Love this.

This Mac user loves this, thx.

I still cannot figure out how to use Mastadon…or discord. 😂

Everything I read about/from Mastodon reinforces my decision not to join it

But do you have to wrap them in a CW on Mastadon?

Weirdly they've gone down REALLY well there?! About as well as they've gone down here. Like, nobody has reported me or defederated from my single-person instance or whatever. dan.mastohon.com/@danhon/1119...

Also, ‘cause I don’t think I’ve said it in the dozens of times I’ve reposted these, thank you so much for making these! They’re a wonderful combination of hilarious, snarky, and actually useful!

red: Antworte nicht, es sei denn, du hast direkte Erfahrung damit or Antworte nur, wenn du direkte Erfahrung hast yellow: Antworte nicht mit einem Software Vorschlag. blue: Das ist eine Beobachtung. Also versuche nicht zu helfen. Es ist keine Antwort erforderlich!

Oh, those are so good! Hope's alright to correct the Spanish in the dark blue. It'd be "No responder si va hacer mansplain sobre mi publicación". It's a more interpretative translation, tho.

I should have one made for “The thing you’re complaining about is not Section 230, it’s the First Amendment.”

I hate that these are necessary. I also hate that I've got use for a bunch of them. Thank you for these

📌

How about "do not reply with a hackneyed joke that was stolen from another user of this website"? Although, on second thoughts, they're probably too serious to make jokes on Mastodon.

THE AI ONE LMFAOOOOO I wish these still had the multilingual translations though ngl

Amazing, thank you!

love

This is exactly why I walked away from Mastodon. By the mods standards on my original instance, the lived experience thing is extremely limiting. It was infuriating because they would use this while ignoring my lived experiences because my experience was not appropriate

nice

I saw one of these in the comments and took matters into my own hands. (Note: I am not a graphic designer by trade nor do I know four languages. This was done quickly and dirtily and using Google Translate. If anyone wants to give me better translations I'll remake it.)

Eh, just save them to your phone if you like them

these are amazing and thanks for the collection. I want one I can hold up in response to other people's posts when they make a conversation not involving them about them: LOW-QUALITY ATTEMPT TO CENTER THEMSELF. DO NOT ENGAGE.

Fascinated that "enshittification" is so similar across different language families. Truly a universal experience.

a better french translation would be « Ne me répondez pas en mecspliquant mon post »

oh yeah here it is "mecspliquer", from the French word "mec" for "dude"

The German on the orange is wrong. „die ich gefällt“ must be „die mir gefällt“.

Woop, Esther made a site collecting them together with alt-text to use: files.selfawaresoup.com/need-not-rep...

How about "Don't reply to tell me how you think both sides are equally bad/good"?

I need the complaining one in a hat or tee shirt I can light up when I'm, um, just complaining.

Thank you! These are so useful for providing context! I hate being misunderstood.

These are brilliant! Are you okay with folks just propagating these or should they be credited?

Oh, bless. These are wonderful.

Stuck them on Threads, too.

how is 'mansplain' in German not 'manntworten'

I think that @neolithicsheep.bsky.social may need some of these if he hasn't seen them yet...

Good copy.

Here, on slack or any other company chat, on WhatsApp, in line at the cafe…

Any chance of a, Do not correct my grammar / spelling I am dyslexic.

useful on all social media sites that are now, ever were, or ever will be

More so here, in my experience, lol

No, in fact I need to save these for whenever they're relevant. Thank you extremely much for rendering a valuable public service and I hope you don't mind the theft; I'll try my best to make sure you get the credit.

On the end of this thread, the new, updated versions live here now: donotreply.cards

Here you could call them BluesClues

I’ve definitely encountered capitalism/enshittification guy here, haha

if you get bored, one more would be "DO NOT RESPOND TO TELL ME TO CONTENT WARN MY LIFE"

please I require this one very badly thank you

Okay this one might actually decrease overall social media posting by like 70% worldwide.

I wish we had bookmarks I'm guilty of at least one of these sometimes (trying to help, or sometimes just trying to chat, but sometimes neither are wanted or called-for)

paging @rahaeli.bsky.social

Oh I love these!

Did that work?

Absolutely fucking brilliant, seriously

in french , "une "joke" " should be " une "blague" ". and better started with " Ne répondez pas" instead of "Ne pas répondre" : really more imperative. 👍 You did it nice !

Much better phrasing!

The definition of Schroedinger's Douchebag.

One more: PLEASE ASSUME THAT ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF INSTANTLY ANYONE ELSE CAN ALSO THINK OF INSTANTLY

I need all of these, too!!!

Ah I see the Rust Evangelism Task Force has arrived

Thank you so much for these ♥️

Omg the “I’m not asking for help, I’m just complaining” is gonna get so much use by me

Thank you for your service, as always, Dan

That first one. "Just switch everything over to open source, its so easy." Yeah no its not and its time consuming.

Super Idee!! Kleinerer Korrekturvorschlag „mir gefällt“. Hier braucht man Dativ. Kannst du auch machen „I use just Stata, and not an alchemist’s concoction of R, Python, Julia, C, Assembler, bash, gawk, sed, …“ ;-)

Have you tried Linux though?

We use open good vibes for our newsletter. From everyone. No virus on this end. Be safe. xx

Hey, @danhon.com - help a guy out?

And now... much easier to steal! donotreply.cards

Happy to help.

CC @techconnectify.bsky.social

These are amazing, thank you.

lol if only I'd had this before I left

📌 🫡

This is brilliant, Dan. Should probably be baked into a future version of Ivory (and Bluesky).

This should be a protocol feature. Also, "Do not reply to tell me how the GDPR applies to this" would be a great addition.

@gordonnodrog.bsky.social I think you need the grey one.

You gotta post transparent versions, im making these my email signatures

Bless you

Was your experience actually that bad or are you just plain allergic to people giving you suggestions?

Nice

you should use open source software Make cool software out of it and stuff you know

📌

Yeah I need this for when I was complaining about Clip Studio Paint not working on Linux and people told me "just use Krita!"

Definitely one of those "Um...why'd you need to make a sign?" moments.

„no mansplaining below this line“

This has real Mac vs PC energy

THIS IS SO PERFECT!!!
