Scammers are targeting Chinese-language users, harassing political dissidents and influential figures.
Honestly, the only real solution is leaving Twitter. With the plan to remove the block feature this will only get worse and worse. I really don’t see this sort of thing getting better anytime soon or later.
Some options: Mastodon is great, push through that initial anxiety about servers and just hop on. Not threads! Unless you’re okay with FaceBook taking, very literally, all your data. Bluesky I’ve heard is okay, but it’s another billionaire project that has an algorithm to do whatever they want.
How do you find people you want to follow on other instances with mastodon? I’ve tried searching all kinds of ways with username and instance, but it doesn’t find the people I’m looking for (specific accounts)
Yeah Ive already done this, they don’t appear when searching…is this method only usable for the website version?
I came find you like this from the Mastodon app.
Yes, we can follow Lemmy users from Mastodon.
Maybe the accounts you’re looking for are in defederated instances?
