Influencers people are finding their way to the Fediverse
Got spam today from someone trying to tap this new market and create a following.
Please don't encourage them. If it catches on it will be terrible. Don't let them destroy this for us.

From "Nicole?"
This is someone that keeps creating new alts and spamming everyone with PMs. Someone noticed on a previous iteration where they posted a separate photo (of a buttplug) that the reflection in the photo was of an old, bald white guy. After being called out they immediately deleted the photo.
I don't think it's an influencer. I think it's just a plain old scammer.

Yeah, "Fediverse Girl". Most lazy alias ever.

Report the accounts to the instance admins so they ban that asshole.

Yeah, I got that one too. I just immediately blocked the account and gave it no thought.
-
This is the way. My block list is very long since i block anything like that. Also bigots. So many bigots.

We already have our local celebrities, anyway. And what good does it do them? Beans.

What ever happened to the guy who desperately needed to not shit for days?
-
That guy is full of it.

I agree, they have everywhere else it go online to push their BS.

I'll encourage them to get a job

“But doing nothing and getting paid for it is my job!“

I just blocked “her”, whoever that spammer claims to be.

oi, hitting the critical mass of enough users to be interesting, but thankfully not at enough users where it is profitable for them yet. sigh

As long as no Fed instance attempts to monetize content, these people will have no power. So subscribe to them, engage to them all you want, but absolutely shun any Fed instance that does anything but accept donations to keep the lights on. Money will always enshittify platforms and their content. Always.
Edit: FYI, any real people who want to discuss things with me, don't let your post sound like it came from a rage engagement bot.

Please enlighten us on why everyone should give you everything for free?
Honestly aren't we mostly in this mess because no-one will pay for a subscription so we're stuck with shitty advertising as the only way to keep the lights on for most platforms?

Ugh it's like when Hank Green joined Bluesky and then immediately started tone policing and now all his videos are about how he's a fragile little sad boy.
Stay in your fucking lane, YouTubers.

Well aren’t you insufferable.

fragile little sad boy
...Isn't he being treated for cancer?
-
He was and he's now cancer free.

This doesn't pass the smell test, as someone that has followed the Greens for years. If you thought his actions were "tone policing" then I'm immediately questioning your actions, since all I've seen is a standup guy and educator. I'm happy to be corrected with a link, but I'm not seeing what you're talking about.
I just got hit
