I should stop being surprised by how so many people here seem to think it's absolutely fine to be an absolute dick in someone's mentions when they've done a good-faith, backed up thread. Didn't your mums tell you about not saying anything at all if you're only going to be a dick?

They obviously didn’t watch Bambi as a child and pick up the listen from Thumper’s mum!

It’s just attention seeking and jealousy. I suspect a lot of people just haven’t grown out of that sort of mindset.

And as if to prove my point, I have just blocked someone for a hostile, arsehole reply to a post of mine from *weeks* ago.

You can just see her left front paw is ever so slightly raised in case she needs to do some smacking

tbf, she probably does need to do some smacking so it's as well to be prepared

I met this cat at lunchtime, they had a leaf stuck to their voluminous pantaloons! But it accepting a nice fussing!

Daphne looks very displeased about the state of Bluesky today. Please let her know we’ll do better

I will pass on your message, but I must point out that it will be much more likely to be believed if it's accompanied by a crate of the finest ham

Although a pic of Daffers does help to cleanse my timeline, she often leaves me feeling like I've done something wrong.

I approve strongly of cat photos to cleanse timelines. In return, here's Paiten kneading my brand new sofa bed into tiny pieces this morning.

Paiten, the tortie queen of the house, kneading and purring herself into a very happy state. The sofa bed is covered in throws because if it wasn't there wouldn't be much left of it now.

Genuinely amazing how many people's response is just to be a twat at, say, James or whoever else. Like if they're being offensive or a tool, fair. But he... isn't?

yeah, exactly. And it underlines the point others were making about how this place is unwelcoming

I do think the hostility side is overplayed as a reason people haven't transfered over(twitter was never welcoming!) but... yeah, it doesn't help.
