Has anyone ever received sketchy messages about the Gaza War or got followed by accounts named "Our Children Are Suffering"?
For the past couple weeks, while not common on a day-to-day basis, I've been getting DM'd and reposted by accounts showing disturbing images of the Gaza War and that I must "donate to help their suffering children during this crisis". Obviously, I'm not stupid to fall for it... these are definitely bots. I believe that I'm not the only one getting these sketchy messages.
Of course, I always block and report these accounts to Bluesky Moderation, but this question I ask must stand-- why in the world do these accounts exist?
(To clarify: each DM I receive from these accounts are literally the exact same. I can't share much of what the messages are because I immediately delete and report them.)
I've been using Bluesky for about a month... it's hard! Need some help!
Ever since I've been taking advice from other Bluesky users to try to be more active to earn an audience, I feel like nothing is changing.
I post very frequently, I reply to whatever I enjoy, and yet I've gained little to no followers and earned very few likes. Even making fan art for my favorite profiles doesn't affect mine one bit, even if it gets reposted.
I'm doing my best to be active and show that I exist and I want to be known as an artist on here, but am I not gaining any progress? What am I doing wrong?
STAY AWAY FROM SCRAMBLY - They started banning their top users for "suspicious activity" and tells them to "try another platform"
I was one of Scrambly's top affiliates, and earned more than $10,000 on this platform with zero problems. When they released the "Weekly Referral Cup" and I started earning more points as usual through this feature, my account was hit with a ban without reason.
After weeks of pressuring their dead-silent support team and showing them proof that I didn't do anything "suspicious", they reject my appeal saying they confirmed it without giving any real clarification.
I gave both of their Trustpilot and Google Play reviews a 1-star rating, stating the obvious. They replied to my reviews acknowledging that my ban was unfair, the "suspicious activity" was unclear, and that they would look into it.
Fast forward to today, and they seem to have forgotten what they wrote back to me from those review programs. They reject my appeal still saying that they confirmed this "suspicious activity", and then tell me to find another platform that works for me.
Scrambly's just becoming another Freecash clone with the same exact controversies, but telling them to flock to another platform is probably their biggest mistake they've done.
UPDATE: I was just banned from their subreddit after I posted this screenshot in their "faster support responses" thread asking them why they thought this response was appropriate. Figures.
Please share this with other people!
I drew my OC Miis from Tomodachi Life! (Progress: 11/35)
IN ORDER: Lou, Cruz, Muffin, Juno, "Bo" (Nathan), Luke, Laina, Simon (Me), Bria, Ellora, and Karlie.
For clarification, there are over 50 Miis on my island. I'm only drawing 35 because 15 of them are either people I know in real life and online, while some of them are IP characters that I do not own. (I did draw MYSELF, however.)
Both the Mii and their drawings are in each image. These took me a while to make and I wanted to share them all! Let me know what you think and who is your favorite!

Looking to get an audience on Bluesky, need some advice!
I recently created an account on Bluesky to showcase my art (I don't do NSFW, only PG-13) and I'm looking to get a good audience who likes wholesome art with a bit of lore and such. But even using trending hashtags don't seem to do the trick for me.
How can I get more comments and likes on my posts without trying to use popular tags to earn attention?
Why do some Fortnite skins not have a LEGO style when they could be easily given one?
Some skins I own or not don't even have their own LEGO style. But the question is, why? Is it because of copyright/permission? How the LEGO model will look? Or even referencing media that could potentially lead younger players to inappropriate content?
This question boggled my mind for a bit and I was wondering if anyone knows the true reason why some skins don't have a LEGO style.
I guess this is the perfect subreddit to upload this to...?

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream - Quality of Life Idea Board | Vol. 2
Two weeks in the making... the time has finally come for the Quality of Life Idea Board: VOL. 2! Please read the first and second page before you proceed in replying down in the comments. Feel free to leave suggestions for what I may want to cover in the future!
(EDIT: There are a few grammatical errors in some of the pages. Try not to take them too seriously!)
Here, take this "who are these battle pass randoms" cheat-sheet. You've earned it.
Every Custom Food I've made so far, Vol. 1 (READ DESCRIPTION FOR DETAILS)
Our adorable little cat buddy Cruz is here to show off what I've made for my Mii islanders with the RP2040-Zero, using a computer program called TomodachiDrawer.
While I won't say much of what these delectable delights are (considering they're easy to tell what they are in the picture), I can at least explain how I made these items in the first place.
No, none of what you see here was made with a mod. These were made with a Raspberry Pi 2040-Zero Micro-controller flashed with code from a program called TomodachiDrawer to have it emulate a Switch Pro Controller with commands telling it to select which brush and color to use.
It costs money to buy one of these RP2040-Zeros, but they're only $5-10! And if you're interested, here are some links to download TomodachiDrawer and where to buy the micro-controllers:
RP2040-Zero (having it with or without the pre-soldered header changes nothing)
TomodachiDrawer tutorial (by Lucas7yoshi, the developer)
TomodachiDrawer GitHub download page
HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE TRYING THESE OUT:
- This method of making custom items won't risk getting your Switch 1/2 banned. This only emulates a controller to do the work, and is not online.
- The Switch 1 has de-sync problems with the RP2040-Zero. The Switch 2 does not.
- TomodachiDrawer is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You will need a PC with any of these OS/distros to flash code onto the RP2040-Zero.
- Images must be 256x256. It is the max texture resolution of all TL items. (However, if you choose an image with a higher resolution, TomodachiDrawer will downscale it to the required resolution for you.)
- Give some love to Lucas7yoshi.
- Ask me what you want me to create for Vol. 2!
Wendy's Baconator - 1hr 20min (SEE DESC. FOR DETAILS)
From my last post, it garnered a whole load of attention. Everybody loved my hyper-realistic Mountain Dew, but that only took around 40min for the RP2040 Zero to make. So, let's take another step above hyper-realism and into copyright infringement!
The Wendy's "Baconator" burger has officially reached it's canon in Tomodachi Life. What do you think??
I've also been making more and more realistic foods behind the scenes, so expect an album later. Stay tuned!!
BEHOLD! THE HYPER-REALISTIC MOUNTAIN DEW!
I made this with the RP2040 Micro-controller. Only $8! No other explanation needed, so enjoy!
EDIT: Just adding this in here, but what else do you want me to make?
