I literally never make posts here but this got me angry enough - divsel keeps following and unfollowing me like a bot every once in a while. He does the same with liking posts as well but I guess he noticed it's too obvious. Super annoying, imagine if we all did that, there wouldn't be much use for follows and likes anymore, now would there? Sick of this spammy behavior...

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.

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

thank you for your kind words. i have more (less coherent) notes on a variety of books, i'm currently attempting to rationalize my workflow so i dont have to manually write out/format my writing into html. unfortunately i know nothing about computers and everything is broken. but remain vigilant!
