Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I feel neglected. I had no idea this was a thing. 😂 It seems people don't understand the basics of the tool they use. Learn mute, hide and block. Pretty simple.

She also has amazing takes on "labor diggers", referring to men who want women's labor for free.

I'm a fly; no idea how I got here, listening to the entire podcast series, on the wall, having a giggle, smh

Ah yes. Blame the woman for being harassed online.

I think the real problem is the algorithm(s). The amount of shit that ends up in my FB feed seems to increase dramatically the more I block stuff. Garbage posts from people I have no connection with who have few or no friends or followers.

Of all the things we have to deal with. Jeeeezus

🪰

Just happened today. I block and move on. But I don’t like it. So, yes.This forever!

Although, to be fair, I have done both before, as I played WoW before voice comms were a thing. So having to talk in game while doing rotations was always fun

have you heard of "the fafebook incident"?

Actually the host is what they seek The means to the end of present president is now on self destruct Those that still admire him or still Work for him are in the same boat to Carouse & get deals Peter thief the theil lives in Argentina, not Mars Hiding out among past historical Nazi refugees

I am forever grateful for people like you, AG, who continue to provide all this fantastic content while putting up with the most annoying comments from strangers.

I have my grand mothers Laidlaw Plasti-Swat and nothing works better on those flies! 🤭

I don't bother with blocking idiots. If they can't be fussed to do it themselves, they get to experience the majesty that is a trans woman talking about nerd shit forever 😎

Gladly! let us Out this mofo befo' he Derails ANOTHER convo

This isn't playing "devil's advocate". It's just being a morally bankrupt douchebag hiding behind pseudo-intellectualism to mask your on bigotry.

it's a Distraction meant to Derail calling it out ANY FORWARD PROGRESS is the Least we can Do.

She's great on FB 👍

Annoying as hell.

Save your best memes about Orange Satan and his stooges. When the flies come buzzing around, drop the meme in the reply, watch them scatter, and move on. Mocking their “dear leader” who can’t handle criticism is often the best response. Meme, block, move on—your time is valuable.

I don't get that kind of engagement. I hardly get any engagement, not even from the flies.😎

Shoo flies

You’re doing an injustice to House Flies, but I otherwise agree with you. 😊

You can tell this was posted on Threads because it contains entire thoughts in a single post. Here on Bluesky, it would be a 10-post thread because the character limits are so damn short.

Oh I like that. This one's right up there with people who get angry when they post something on a fully public platform and you comment on it. If you don't want people to comment on it then either disable comments or don't post it..

Oh shit I've turned into a house fly on youtube and didn't know it. 😂 Ever since they got rid of the thumbs down my feed on there has been inundated with right wingers and after about a week of it I just started slinging insults at every one of them that pops up. It's therapeutic.

Brilliant analogy.

And when they eventually leave, it's like the trash took itself out!

💯!

Hard to shout to your friends and followers “she blocked me” if you avoid the contact in the first instance or pull the plug yourself.

Martin Luther said that God made flies to remind us of Hell.

She is awesome.

They are all losers and desperate for any attention they can get.

I'm pretty sure we hit the point where bots are producing more of the interactions online than real human individuals a few months ago.

It's one of the hugest downsides to the internet we simply didn't foresee: the number of people out there who just live to pester and annoy other people.

Damn straight! Or, they have ONE little factoid that they think answers EVERY counterpoint you make. It is SO BORING. I just swat them...

I sometimes ask people to block me if their replies are rude & unrelenting. It's an alert to others reading to avoid those accounts. But I also don't hesitate to block as needed.

Ehhhhh NO….poster sounds like whiny bitch who can’t stand people commenting on a post on PUBLIC media….grow a fucking pair or better yet stfu

They come from maggots too. So there is that.

I get this all the time on video platforms with "Why is this on my feed" sort of shit. I dunno, you comment on stuff you don't like causing the algo to feed you more of it. I am stealing the housefly thing, It's perfect.

Love it.

I miss seeing her Threads posts. Stupid AI, kicking me out for impersonating myself.

Yes And The open Internet is the open Internet. Happily, Bluesky allows some nice controls over who gets to interact. Not so much the heil site. If you’re there, you’re not in “your space.” You’re in Elon’s.

Plus they leave a bunch of 'maggots' when they finally die off.

House Flies are parents of MAGAts. Little known fact.

Mute also works

💯💯

Literally!

Regrets? After all the damage, death & destruction in Trump 1.0 After he tried to overthrow a free & fair election After he was convicted of being a rapist & on 34 felony counts You voted for him again Now you regret your vote? Fuck you & all MAGA/GOP Make AMENDS first then we’ll talk

You need 2 doors open for flies to escape. Creates a slip stream and they can fly right out.

Don’t let anyone ANYONE give you reason to question your magnificence. We may stumble and trip up but ultimately we are on the path to bigger, better, brighter!

You're freaking awesome. Don't let a few annoying people get in your head. Chin up!

I meant to say lurk lol

💯

Precisely Embarrassing

🤣🪰

I think its only acceptable if its against shitty right wing pages that Facebook keep putting on your feed. I think annoying them as much as possible for being forced fed their bullshit is the only time its ok to be a housefly

If only this worked on youtube. I swear the Don't recommend channel option is just markers and duck tape

MAGAts are notorious for that. 🙄

They also fly in to say “source” when it’s attached or literally every person with a brain has heard the news story.

How does a person who says that they are new to Bluesky have 50,000 followers in a day or two? Do they plug in a link to 50,000 of us?

This is different than what Facebook is doing right now which is cramming the dumbest far right crackpots into people’s timelines regardless of how often you block or you say you don’t want it. It’s similar in that no matter how many you swat, more will come until you find out what’s rotten.

LOVE her! Pure gold every day.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social read

Trolling actually came from the term for fishing, not from the mythical creature. Flies are a terms in fishing too, so it weirdly works.

Ok, but it's really funny to post this

I like to commend them for their bravery in admitting that they require others to be personally responsible for them.

And they consume feces thinking it's delicious

Never heard this analogy before, but... well said. That's very accurate.

I would say that is true about 99% of the time but Bluesky has a great thing where they love having unsolicited dick pics just pop up in peoples feeds.

Counter: Posting in a public space and then being offended when someone is not in love with what you say.

Or, like houseflies, if they don't eat shit, they should?

I had an aunt who accused me of posting negative things about trmp in her feed. I told her it was my feed, I would not censor myself in that manner, and to unfriend me. She unfriended me. I didn’t like her anyway

🎯 Isn't that amusing, all the b*tching & wh*ning about what we are doing to them on our own pages, acting as if they don't have the agency or just the good sense to go away Then get butthurt when the take down happens. 'Houseflies' is an excellent way to put it.

Brutal. But the truth often is brutal.

I would offer the same argument to OP lol

It totally does not work Here or elsewhere And they use AI slop algorithms too And they push propaganda And they buy your data And there is manual manipulation of the feeds I go to another website, look at totems, and I get spammed with totems on Bluesky, strange hey

I tell maga off belligerentely and tell them to block me for my sanity. Idgaf they can die mad. As can anyone offended by my advocacy of my rights and people in my communitie's rights; and needs in Healthcare, minimum wage, equal rights, no genocide, ect. B l o c k m e if you don't like it. ❤️🧡💛💚

I hate the ones that comment then block so you cannot read the reply nor block them if you didnt screenshot their name before they blocked you

She's the best!

You control these people then? Obviously "Discover" is worst than "Following" It still does not mean I have any input on what I see Al Jazeera makes articles every day and I never see them "Mueller" lady makes as many posts and she's always there Tons of shit I don't want also show up

Swat Fly, bye, bye!

Yes.

Shoo, siht eating fly

Perfection!

They're just looking for shit

I sometimes with that there was such a thins as "AI Raid Pest Spray." Just type in a quick code, and "poof" --- they're gone forevermore, permanently assigned to "virtual purgatory" where they'll fit in quite nicely with all the other trolls.

Damn! What a great fucking metaphor!

I don't have the time or patience to be bothered with stupid, malcontent Houseflies. I tell them off or block them. Too bad we can't swat them in real life.🪰💣

Pretty fuckin simple eh?

The sheer amount of replies, engagements, comments, updates and everything else that I start, think and then DONT post per day, easily out weights my posts 50:1. A vast majority of it is because of this mentality. Why argue with insects who eat feces? Yup. No point I love this post.

Me too...learned it from following Tom Nichols!

Agree! Bsky makes it so eady to mute/block accounts. Why engage? Just block and move on! 😎

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

All the while 💩 on everything.

Brilliant.

Conservatives engage only in bad faith. They know what they’re doing. They’d rather be thought of as stupid than people realize the truth is they’re evil. Conservatives are cancer.

I've often wondered if I put a microscope slide on a pole in the middle of a room if flys would immediately start buzzing against the slide, unable to get around it.

The easiest way to avoid many if not most of the bigoted 'houseflies' is to stay off musk's poisonous media site! The only time I see that content is when someone brings it here!

And like seagulls every once in a while, one of them will try and shit on you.

They don't though, cos they never put their rubbish in the bin.

Houseflies also eat shit and bother people.

Cartoon says what WE know.

I think they would form a line, with hands out, as if something were taken from THEM.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of the Bug-A-Salt or the fly swatter.

This is such a brilliant perspective. It's a lot easier to avoid being reactive when faced with such incessant nonsense. I can just roll my eyes and ignore a fly that isn't literally buzzing in my ears. 😂

Blowflies?
