Gregory's ServerWhenever some reply guy gives me his tedious opinion, I say "Whoa! That's interesting. Tell me more?" Then I mute them. Some of them carry on replying for months. I like to think it stops them bothering others.

@baiteh @fesshole good news is: it actually does at least sometimes. I know someone who reported that something like this worked for her. A friend made a Markov chain bot which automatically engaged with and distracted unpleasant people who were bothering her on Twitter. (This was years prior to Musk's buyout of Twitter.) She saw a marked decrease in rambling unpleasant strangers in her mentions.  @0x2ba22e11 @fesshole True, I guess it's kinda like the counter scammers on scamorama etc back in the day!  @fesshole gasping from the lack of petty divorces and coprophiles in this conveyed fess 👍🏻 |
@fesshole It doesn't but good work nonetheless!
