    If you feel the nuclear block is an issue for you, I’d recommend not joining bluesky then.

    I didn't say anything about that or Bluesky, so far as I know. I was just making an observation about some things you said.

    I get a very hostile very random vibe from you toward me specifically from time to time.

    I get the same vibe from you; perhaps the formality of your language. I’m matching your vibe.

    EDIT: if you need more specificity, I’m reading your text as condescending down to me, as if I’m a child who needs to be taught. I’m being formal and polite with you because the last time I got a little snarky with you, you wrote a several paragraph long reply telling me I was no better than Beast Blazer and telling me never to directly address you again. I might be a little on edge.

    I don't think it's that.

    I know early on I made a joke that you said was homophobic and I immediately apologized for it. I seem to recall you seeing the apology because I think you liked it.

    I've defended you personally here a couple of times and I've advocated for LGBTQ people and other social, ethnic and racial minorities generally on here pretty commonly, so it wouldn't seem that's it.

    Yet, you called me out as a liar for something about which I have personal experience because it didn't jibe with some anecdote you got from friends, which I thought was a strange way to respond.

    Now I just point out to you that the block function works for both good and ill and you give me these passive-aggressive responses. And it just comes off as you get angry or defensive whenever someone presents you with a perspective that is a bit different than yours or one that maybe you never considered.

    And that's fine. You do you, if that's what you want to be. I don't even care that you don't recognize someone who's advocated for you. I'd just say it's ill-mannered to call someone a liar or to tell them to stay away from somewhere you frequent because of that, too. You can not like someone and still not be hostile like that to them.

    I'll return to our status quo after you called me a liar over what was such a little thing. I'll avoid you as much as possible. I really feel I get unnecessary grief whenever we engage. Have a nice day.

    See? This is the shit right here that just rubs me the wrong way. You keep trying to close the door on what could be an interesting conversation because you take offense so easily. You type out this reply that is meant to end a conversation.

    I never got a chance to respond to your last big reply because in the same post as revealing why you know what you do, you tell me I’m a piece of shit, to get lost, and to never speak to you again.

    Your voice in support of queer people is appreciated, but it doesn’t make you special here, nor does it give you a moral authority over our interactions.

    I don’t know who you are, what your deal is, or why you think an angry essay is an appropriate format for discussing an interpersonal issue, but I’m willing to work through it if you are, truly. I’m not a student, and you’re not my professor. We are, like it or not, equals on this forum.

    Twitter is just going to be an arm of the failed truth social.

    How pathetic.

    Any chance we can get bluesky to embed into the forum like Twitter and Reddit do?

    This is the only form of social media I use. If yall aren’t talking about something, I generally won’t know about it.

    I never had a Twitter account, but I used to peruse it until Elon made it so that you couldn't see anything without an account.

    Now I only see individual tweets that are linked here or other places.

    Happy to hear bluesky is getting some traction.

    Yea it 'grew' dark ... that place has always been a breeding ground for the cesspool of humanity ... really wish news breakers had a different place to post their info, it's the only reason I frequent that site for personal/non professional manners.

    Facebook- Stay in touch with old friends and family around the world.
    Twitter- Sports
    Instagram- Photography and sports

    Don’t know why people who don’t use social media think of that as an accomplishment.

    Shit my daughter got a college scholarship with a ton of help from social media.
