I liked his site and I ended up unfollowing and blocking him for this, but I still get the follow-unfollow cycle from him.

ah yup that pretty much confirms he's using some simple script... this stuff is driving me nuts, especially because he disabled all comments on his profile lmao

Unlike Federi and that mentally unstable teenager he does have a site with substance and isn't harassing anyone, so I don't think he should be "banned" but I wish using (what I think is) a script wouldn't be allowed here. Go back to Mastodon or Tumblr if you want to farm followers for visibility this bad.

yeah i agree it's unnecessary for him to get banned, but this kind of advertising is so annoying because it's exploiting a system we're all civil enough to follow and not abuse zzz

He's definitely using a script. He's been doing the cycle with me for weeks, and even though I've blocked him it continues. I wish he'd fuck off.

i think the script is based on the global activity feed, following sites when they appear there

I noticed that too, especially when he just like spammed every update, you could go into global activity and every single update in the past day would have his like...

Won't he just get shadowbanned eventually as more and more people block him? it doesn't seem like like this sort of thing can last very long

in his latest post he laments the presence of social media features in neocities, the exact features he is abusing. he also is a self-professed "true nihilist", so maybe this is all some elaborate scheme to emphasize the internal contradictions of neocities and hasten its collapse

incredibly weird behavior... i read his recent article about "the decline of neocities" but he seems to be the one actively making the social aspects of NC more annoying to use than normal...

@saddleblasters @moonview yeah it seems hes generally disheartened by neocities but like come on bro you dont have to make it worse for those of us that enjoy the limited social features it does have. tbh if likes and follows got turned off tomorrow id survive just fine but as it is i like follows as a passive way of finding new interesting sites without my usual last updated trawling

He's being incredibly rude doing this to get attention on a web hosting platform. I usually say if you want more eyes on your site make a better site. But his site's already decent, so what's his deal??

Blocking him does nothing either, I know of someone who has him blocked because of this and his script still targets their profile.

I wish that blocking someone on here meant they couldn't re-follow you. It surprises me that it doesn't work that way.

A trick I learned out of curiosity: if you unblock him, then reblock, it removes him again from your followers. You have to do this manually each time. It's only a temporary trick until he runs the script again but it makes me feel better to remove his name lol.

it seems like the blocked users behavior is being addressed https://github.com/neocities/neocities/issues/520

errr i just noticed that the person who posted the issue to github is called divselector, could it divsel themselves is running some sort of test?

@irony-machine: i would hope this is the case but why wouldn't he make it obvious he was doing so? without that context it just comes off creepy and borderline stalker-ish...

@moonview i agree with you on that, he could be testing on accounts of his own and not bother anyone. hell, the github issue message he wrote mentions it being a problematic behavior.

god yes he's fucking obnoxious. I've already tried blocking him but it's done nothing, hopefully enough people will get sick of him spam liking them and he'll get banned

Coming to terms with the fact that you're actually Reacting Normally can be hard to swallow after years of being told you're overreacting. Sadly I think a lot of people will use this technique of downplaying someone's emotions to "calm them down" but it often has the opposite effect. I really love the mareep you've made and the yarn loop thing, she looks like a cloud...
It's great you want to change your living arrangements as soon as you find the means. It's for the best for your wellbeing. You deserve to live better so I'm glad you found a goal to work towards. I've told you before, your words and ideas do have merit and I love your tone of writing. You're never boring to me. Your Marill and Mareep are the cutest ever too I love them ;; β‘
oh my goodness the needle felted pokemon are so cute!!! also, i can totally relate to how you feel about your mother... i hope that you can live freely and happily away from her soon enough. please take care of yourself! even if you don't feel like it, you are very important!
Ahh wow, so the book I recommended ended up being one piece in the puzzle of your difficult situation... I'm so glad that you're going to keep reading it, and start really pushing for a better life, too. Yes, this a new era!!! And I'm so looking forward to what happens next... including your needle felting. Your new wool texture technique is awesome!! Mareep looks so fluffy n soft~
that mareep looks incredible!!
Your Mareep is adorable. You have an artistic gift and felting is super underrated. I'm sorry you grew up in that kind of environment... it's fucked up when we realize look back on those kind of experiences as adults, you know? Nobody should make you feel that way for being a normal human being. You (and everyone else) have inherent worth as human beings, don't forget it!
I'm pretty awful at helping with advice for things, but what you're going through reminds me of my own experiences that I had until my mids 20's. It was so freeing to finally move out, even with how hard it is to afford anything. You seem to be handling everything with such a level head, you don't deserve to be around so many people that make you feel irrational. My heart really does go out to you, genuinely.
Also I think we took shelter from the same tornado lol! I'm also in tornado alley, the sirens went off so I grabbed my cat and we hung out in my tub lol since that's the only safe place we had. It was a little nerve-racking!
i'm so sorry to hear you've had to go thru all that, but i'm always super happy for people when they finally realize that a lot of their problems came from harsh environments instead of themselves!!! it's always difficult to heal but it's always worth it. i hope you can make a safer space for yourself soon!
