jeez I didn't think the bot spam would follow me from tumblr. I got 40 mentions from just one not alone

@bakijak saaame

I panicked a little when I saw it, specially since I had just posted something 😶

@carm_kuryakin I was so excited to see someone mentioning me and then I opened the notification and it was like "check out this link!"
suffice to say my disappointment is immense and my day is ruined. fastest report and block I've done on fedi, and almost as fast as what I do on tumblr

edit for typos galore

@bakijak it's so annoying. And it feels like playing whack-a-mole. At least on tumblr.
@carm_kuryakin it doesn't help that the bots have gotten smarter and actually interact now. or maybe they're new users that look like bots because apparently a rumor made the rounds that you have to interact first before you can change your PFP?? not sure how reliable it is, but it's gotten a lot harder
at least on fedi, since the niche is mostly for techy, mostly not spambot oriented people, it's fine
