Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.

Just blocked a retail account that spammed itself and its products into an unrelated comment thread of mine, so, retail accounts, let that be a heads up, that sort of activity is not going to work out for you here. "Don't Engage, Just Block" applies to you too, if you do things like that.
