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.
it seems like the blocked users behavior is being addressed https://github.com/neocities/neocities/issues/520
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.
@irony-machine that is their github its linked on this page next to the red button: https://divsel.neocities.org/divchan
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
"Her" was mid on release, I can only imagine how annoying it must be in current year... I'm sorry it disappointed you so much!!! I at least love the score, Aphex Twin did some nice piano stuff... I hope your robot vacuum performs well and that your life stays at just the right level of anxiety for you <3 Unironically very aspirational heh
Honestly I don't understand what I was so hyped for, I don't even like spike jonze's movies generally, he never struck a chord with me. Oh wow I didn't know aphex twin did the score! And thank you heh Throughout recent years I had to come to terms with the fact that life's anxieties will be unavoidable..
spike jonze should have stayed a music video director. i didn't realize how mid her actually is. anyway shorter hair is insanely confortable, i'm glad i finally got it cut shorter this year... hip lenght hair is fun but it always felt like a nightmare to maintain for me
robot vaccums are mid depending which one you got. my parents got a tefal one first which was incredibly mid and then they got a roomba but they gave it away to someone as they didn't want to use the app though i heard people like them. a least they got them for free from some bonus program that suppliers in our industry have. for me it would be a cordless vaccum
it was super disappointing indeed, the cinematography wasn't too terrible and the interiors looked nice at points but the outside shots didn't really stun me. i remember hearing how its such a good looking movie too... and fr long hair is a bother as cool as it is
we got uhhh roborock s7 maxv something like that, tbh even if theyre not amazing theyre suited for our apartment which is entirely tiles and theres a lot of surface the vacuum can reach because we don't have a lot of furniture. so far im pretty happy with it!
you're making a sotc shrine?! i can't wait! this is such a coincidence, i've been thinking about how i want to re-play it again and finally finish ico and tlg.
Yess i am!! I was thinking of doing a silly gimmick with the shrine, i hope itll work out lmao. Let me enable you - go finish ico!! It's such a good game and it'll be worth your time. The save screen music is the default music that plays in my brain to this day, and I love to listen to it on repeat while I do html/css
Happy Gacha Day!!! I think splurging for completionist reasons makes sense, so "yay willpower" indeed! This character's face is sooooo cute too.. Like the balance of her features is just perf
more pose footage, yay!!! the fairy wings are so gorgeous... i love how much thought you put into your outfits, like the fact that things can't be tweaked 100% to your liking means you have to get a lil creative and it's most definitely paying off
yes i agree, when you have to work around an item it sparks some extra creativity... but sadly it does limit its use! thankfully theres not that many items like that ingame
these are all so beatiful, the mythology and forest critters are my favorite, that golden bow and arrow..... it activates my almonds i need it
I always love getting to check out the updates to your Life Makeover page whenever they pop up, your creations are seriously so pretty ;__;
thank you pom!! i love the artemis fit so much too... such a shame i missed out on that bow ingame!!!
@cloveratelier hehe thank you im glad you enjoy my lm updates, mostly because i feel like im spamming them too often sometimes but i love to create outfits in this game so much lmao
beautiful* lol. aww thats a shame! hopefully they will add it back in at some point!
the skating pose is so cute!!! i love the drama of it all, and the way she owns her fail... are there any other dynamic poses you really like? i'd love to see more footage of them, and more lm updates in general. who cares if there's a lot of them? youre obviously having fun!!!
thank you flonne!! yes i love good expressive poses, its a shame most others are just very "proper" instead. I'll post my other favourites with my future outfits hehe
somehow missed the peter griffin cosplay, that's hilarious! the forest outfits you made are really divine, they look like guardians of their domain. and that fall in the video! almost as if she did it on purpose to endear you to her.
hahah ty!! im glad the forest critters were a hit i enjoyed making both outfits a ton hehe and indeed the fall animation is so endearing...
i think the people who love purebred ungodly abominations uwu think of them as objects rather than living creatures. like how you can sit on a chair without worrying about hurting it-- they're made to be sat on. those dogs are made to be cute, not healthy, so their ability to run and play and not die of cancer is a total afterthought... can't relate
agreed it really does seem that way. in my acquaintances case - her frenchie is a poor anxious mess that pukes everywhere he goes and up until recently he had been forced to hop from place to place because her and her ex shared custody of him lmao.. im glad she realized the dog was so anxious (after a long time) but it still baffles me
Irresponsible dog breeding makes me so mad. My family had a ~mystery~ rescue puppy when I was a kid. No idea what she was when they got her, she grew up to be a bull dog monstrosity the size of a pony. Bred for dog fighting. She was ridiculously muscular, decapitated possums in a single bite, tore the tendons in her hind legs under the weight of her own muscles. Poor baby died of heart failure at 5 years old.
i never understood how people don't feel bad about purposely bringing animals to existence knowing they'll suffer from their genetics, i wish more people would talk about it. It breaks my heart that people keep doing this when there's so many dogs that never get adopted from shelters too
while ago i saw a cute guy walking 3 frenchies. none of them used their hind paws to walk, they just dragged them behind them. dog breeders now are obsesed with purity instead of imporoving the breed, best case of it is that LUA dalmatians won't be classified as purebreed dalmatians despite being 99.98% pure and they are actually healthy
but they won't be considered "pure" because of a well done crossbreeding with a pointer 50 years ago which reintroduced much needed genes to make them healthy. but nooo, breeders will be obsessed with muh purity and they will backcross dogs so many times that they will become completely deformed
i think it was on pedigree dogs exposed, there was one champion pekinese which had exact same dog in 3 generations back. sickening
People who buy purebred dogs and cats just want to have a pet to show status, everytime I go jogging in my neighborhood 90% of the people that are walking their dogs are with a breed dog (pitbull, golden retriever, labrador, etc) I barely can see someone walking with a stray/mutt (also called "vira-lata" here). And the shelters are always full but no one wants a "no breed" dog
I even saw on pinterest someone that said that "a breed dog have a predictable temperament" and "that a stray dog can be dangerous" and "I want a allergy free dog" (girl, dogs aren't duvets to be "allergy free" lol) and I say this as someone who doesn't like dogs in general. Don't even get me started in how breed cats are so freakish and alien (like wth is a lykoi cat?? that barely resemble a real life cat wtf)
About breeders, just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHscMam4W7s (warning: this video is not for those with a weak heart, you may feel utterly disgusted by their actions/way of thinking)
all good didnt even notice lmao
