 We should draw up a list of places to embed Derek Ross as a nostr missionary lol. Bluesky is a lost cause.

 This has nothing on me.

I was by far the most blocked person on Bluesky for most if not all of my tenure there before getting banned.

Not exaggerating.

I wonder if my broken phone has any screenshots to prove this.

I remember a webpage that tracked the leaderboards of people with the most recent blocks. Maybe one of those would be archived on the wayback machine or archive.today from when I was there.

I was hstark.bsky.social, display name "blocked by pfrazee," you could ask about me there.

Nobody gives a shit when I do something better and sooner though, they always wait for someone more popular to do a shitty late version.

 You have to play again. The game is to be most blocked without banned ;)

 If I ever get unbanned I'm just archiving all my old posts from there and leaving the account up. No reason to go back if they're going to arbitrarily ban me for extended periods after showing no interest in fixing the mechanisms by which that was able to happen.

I've been trying to get others to copy my technique since before I was even banned though.

You could boil my success down to 3 rules -

1. You are not trying to get anyone to block you.
2. You are trying to spread good knowledge.
3. You will try to stop people from feeling the need to block you in any way you can except restricting your efforts to spread good knowledge.

Bluesky will hate you more for following these 3 rules than anything else imaginable.

You don't spam "banana" because obviously it occurs to you, by doing that, you could make someone want to block you, and yet they wouldn't be blocking you for trying to spread good knowledge - they would be blocking you for spam.

You don't start with a hostile post that just states an unpopular opinion with no further elaboration to "test" if people like that. Why the fuck would they? They don't. But they don't hate it as much as my approach, because you've given them an easy out - you've let them block you for low-effort shitposting, not for a sincere attempt at spreading good knowledge.

What you do is you try to find threads where people reading might need info you have, and you try to make people understand that info.

Sometimes it's info people don't want - like what "decentralization" actually means.

Sometimes it's info they do want - and you make sure of it, because you're trying to make people understand things, and criticizing a community while contributing to it should be better than just criticizing it as a hostile outsider; unless you're on Bluesky, where it's only "better" at making you the most blocked person, which is perfect for the game you're talking about here.
