@Gargron I thought I had tried that first. 🤷♀️

@Gargron yes.
The 1.6k way is slow and hard to select followers by activity etc. I will try that going forward.

@Gargron I now see I can remove those followers in my followers list.
I didn’t seem to have that option before.
This is so confusing.

@Gargron there is nothing on my followers list page at the bottom at all.
On my regular home page it says 4.4.0-nightly.2024-11-15

Mastodon.social is above.

@Gargron @hp
Yes. I see it. What about others?
How do I know how to access the account to block. How did you find that link?

@Gargron I just clicked on their name in the list and it goes to their profile.

@Gargron
For this one, the three dots doesn’t work at all, and in my follows list shows as mutual.
And yet…

@Gargron here are two:
I can look for others.

It won’t let me make notes on there profile either.

Good question. @Gargron can you please help or answer why I have approvals on, yet I have a bunch of followers (and some I am supposedly following) that I never approved, never followed, and CANNOT REMOVE OR BLOCK OR MUTE them. In fact my ability to block accounts seems to be severely diminished. And it seems random.

@arstechnica
Welcome to full on plutocracy.

@nixCraft how do we demand they don’t use our content? Why don’t they offer opt-in. Are we supposed to go through protests, class actions, legislation etc?
Fuck that guy. He should be in jail.

@arstechnica this is why they want mask bans.

@eff @404mediaco buying ‘smart’ stuff is not wise.

@nixCraft all those different platforms are like a horcrux of MS and we need antitrust laws to protect us. The illusion of choice is NOT AN OPTION.

@arstechnica Toronto skies please give us this.

Democracy was never meant to be run by #election bc it is too easily corrupted by oligarchs.
It was always meant to be by sortition & there is a longer history to that & it's success, than this version of 'democratic' elections which is failing us & fallen to #oligarchs as was known & expected by Athenians.
Aristotle said #elections were aristocratic & we're seeing that right down to dynasties.

@arstechnica mini AT-AT prototype.

@arstechnica people’s own homes will be burned to the ground. It will be just like guns and harm those with them, and their children, the most.

@nixCraft highly recommend dynadot for domains.
