Dumb is kind of a low grade insult, but thanks for your input.

Peace ✌️ Don't feed the trolls. Take a breath, (report if violent) block, smile. Not worth your time or stress.🥰

Thank you 😊 This was my very first troll encounter in the wild.

Oh, so I should tell you then, if they are violent or otherwise reportable you have to report first and then block otherwise you lose the option to report. And ADMIN. Does their job!!! Here's a breakdown.🧐 bsky.social/about/suppor...

Hi. Thanks for this. This whole social media thing is new to me and I’m learning as I go. 😊

I'm older so... Go on google with any question regarding Bluesky options or operations. There is a lot available here by using the search option here (but it's not quite as good as google). Folks here will look out for you just ask. Experiment with all the options, it's pretty AWESOME!!!💝

I’m older too. 😊 I will follow your advice. I’m really enjoying Bluesky, I have met so many lovely people here and learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to help me out. 🥰

Oh, one more tip, when vetting a follower listen to your gut. If the person sounds "off" they are probably a bot. If a person sounds toothache sweet - they are probably MAGA pretending to be nice. You'll develope an eye for it. Trust your gut, explore, engage and please have fun life is short.🥰

Thanks, I’ve started to notice a few things. It takes me a while to follow back because I spend time reading about every follower first. I have been having fun with the translate button. I’ve talked to people all over the world, in their own language! Bluesky is about human connection for me. ✊🥰

SERIOUSLY, me too me too. Exactly!!! So many things to find and learn. I have to limit my time now cause I get too excited. Looooove emojis, Loooooove the translate app. Power On✌️💫

Not at all. WEF are open border globalists and due to your TDS, you think it's intelligent to sell your souls to those people.

I understand why you believe that to be true. I’m neither deranged, nor do I have a syndrome. I believe that empathy, compassion and love are the greatest attributes of humanity, and that everyone matters. We simply see the world differently. I can live with that. 🙂

@permagrin-falcon.bsky.social I believe the same, and I thank you for sharing—you are an important voice and we need to spread more messages like this 💙 Btw… most Canadian response ever 🇨🇦 calm, collected, and coherent + kind. Funny how you can tell an 🇺🇸 vs a 🇨🇦 based on comments alone lolol

Thank you for saying so, that’s very kind. I agree, we need much more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control in the world.

You're right. It's hard because those are all very scarce resources in America. When you (world + Canada) extend those, it makes an important difference to us.

I believe they are scarce resources worldwide, unfortunately. Every Canadian that I know has the back of the American people. I personally have struggled to think about anything other than what is happening in your country. I’ll do whatever I can to help you and I know I’m not alone. 🇨🇦✊🇺🇸❤️

'Christine Eckard' is in fact some troll farm dude somewhere in some shithole fascist country paid to sow division on social media.

Thank you for saying so. 😊 They were my very first troll in the wild, so I couldn’t resist engaging. I just ignore them now. Thanks again. ✊

There's loads of them on here now unfortunately, the influx started after the orange fascist once again defiled the Oval Office with his nappy-wearing carcass end of January. Many pretend to be liberal and then show their true 'colours'.

I’ve noticed this as well. I don’t let the hateful randos get me down. I’m fighting by helping out and building up as many people as possible, in as many ways as possible. The harder they hate us, the more we need to love and support one another! ✊❤️

I've noticed a lot of division on the left lately. Driven a lot by troll farm accounts sowing division but also people that should know better. All have a common enemy but squabbling amongst themselves is making the fight for Democracy all the harder. It's disheartening. But I'm not giving up.

Good chance that they’re Russian.

Who knew an "authentically Canadian" response is effeminate oozing of misplaced maternal instincts? This is why women don't belong in politics.

Why does "empathy and compassion" always involve millions of freeloaders treating Western countries like candy jars?

Empathy meaning misplaced maternal instincts. I've seen it countless times.
