What people don't tell you about being a niche Internet microcelebrity is that people will just start blocking you for the crime of being popular

mystie the fedi maid :goodgirl: :neurodiversity:

@julia people actually do that??

Julia :v_trans: :v_bi:

@[email protected] yes and it does a number on my mental illness

Alice :neocat_flag_transbian:

@[email protected] @[email protected] weirdly enough hasn't happened to me yet even tho I have the same amount of followers (yes, I just approved a few follow requests to have the same number, why )

Alice :neocat_flag_transbian:

@[email protected] @[email protected] then again I seem very lucky wrt this stuff anyway, like I haven't received that much transphobia online either (not none, but not much)

Alice :neocat_flag_transbian:

@[email protected] @[email protected] tho then again I'm not an admin of a fairly notable instance, only a single user one - I wonder if it's because of that and not because of the followers count

Julia :v_trans: :v_bi:

@[email protected] @[email protected] is eepy.moe fairly notable?

Amber

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] you do not want to have a fairly notable instance julia trust me on that one

kali mitaclau :ralseiBlunt:

@julia you can prevent it by becoming more toxic and abrasive to counteract people liking you

Julia :v_trans: :v_bi:

@[email protected] why would I be bad to people

I see no reason to do that

kali mitaclau :ralseiBlunt:

@julia that's the reason right here you don't get popular. dig hole sit in hole vibe checks are enforced by aircraft. you don't have to worry about handling parasocial relationships if people who'd form them are afraid of you etc
