I thought it was because it is *checks notes* OK for sex workers to pay for Twitter Premium and/or OK to deal with crypto/NFT incels? I missed a lot of details lol

I remember joking that if people really wanted to go on strike here that they'd withhold invite codes but they were all too cowardly to do something that would *actually* affect the website, everyone knows all they really care about is growth metrics after all

I had to step away after the mega threadzilla started and broke the site. I couldn't handle it. No time for that. much better now.

I found that, for me, operationally, there were like, 5 accounts I had followed that were acting as kind of "super-spreaders" for all that 8th grade lunchroom energy, and blocking them reduced the "this is EVERYWHERE" feeling for me. Alt-text fetishism was also a gateway to that vibe-world.

A lot of Blueksy lore is just normal forum drama. Posters Strike, however, was an incredible moment and I feel blessed to have witnessed it.

I can understand letting SWers post, but what was a posters strike supposed to accomplish?? Literally who cares if we post or not?

this was hilarious because there would have needed to be a cessation of posting for there to be a posting strike instead they just changed their same 50 posts a day into posts about how much they weren't posting because "WE KEEP GOING" or whatever

It was also very funny* how the most vocal non-SWer supporters of that turned out to be huge sex pests. *deeply obvious in hindsight
