Grief - Baiting

 

Careful, scams on BSKY are raising, artificiality without truth seeping through the cracks. So, I'm going to repost a favourite where scammers seem to pass fraud as fact and treat my neurotypical disadvantaged as prey.

It's inevitable these are going to crop up and be made into get-rick quick schemes by predatory robbery.

Grief-baiting, that's a curious concept, thank you. These are merely copywriting tricks being misappropriated again.

Woooow! Copy and paste work wonders here.

Hey yall, with Bluesky getting more popular, please realize this isn't just a tiny community anymore, and so the Twitter scammers are gonna show up here. This is how almost all donation scams go, with a link to direct payments that you cannot easily cancel, and not a gofundme. Other red flags:🚩

If your warning bells go off, click to their profile. 🚩Do they follow significant amounts of people compared to followers? 🚩does their media tab have ANY type of normal photos a real human might post, or is it 99% meme image posts?

🚩Is most of their post history in big blocks separated by weeks or months? 🚩Do they have any posts that sound written by a human? Like click through to any normal account and you can get a read on their personality. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩do they have emergency fundraisers every couple months?

The last one was the case for the screenshotted image. They had, hym, 4 or 5 emergency fundraisers in the brief history I went through. Though the rest of their posts looked bot or scam farm-like. If a person is running that account, they are just grief baiting to see what gets more reposts.

Usually, making multiple scams that you can find in the post history is more common with real people, but I think Bluesky makes deleting post history harder, so the scam farms may just count on folk here not being on guard to check post history just yet. So, be wary.

I always get folk like "well what if they just aren't active? " Isn't the reason you directly donate to a person, instead of a charity, because you have no idea if the charity is using your money correctly? So why wouldn't you spend any time to avoid giving a scammer money?

This may never get any eyes on it.

That's what a gift is, when ideas are plentiful within this internet net. Especially with one with the booper. Gearing more about derisive intelligence, AI futurists/technocrats and It's detractors. Collecting opinions within the critics too. I'm not sure if my own.

Glad Tim Grawl managed to admonish this by separating the commodity makes and the artists.

Thankfully I'm happy the physic return of my hobby is good enough, I'm not sure if I'd want to do more commercial work right now.

Theo's Conglomerate Praise

Doodles from memory really show the most rudimentary of semiotics of my character.

Fancy ball Party, mid 20s.

"It's important that the silvers, along with its name, promote overall social being while de-escalating misunderstandings of the southern tensions of are guidance."

Everybody attention was aimed at him, internally there was a form most foul that wrestled within a sea of forming horror.

"As it's important to keep my faith within the ley lines, all conduits are guided by one. To my extent, I'm his wisdom and a messenger. For all of us bestow our benevolence."

He blushes and stammers a bit, all the most perceptive are able to see his shake up. He continues, "is this the price to pay?" He thought.

Out of the black tendrils of his brain, a beastly face of corruption emerges, hidden within.
