@bsky.app I'd like to be able to filter follow requests before they can follow. I'd like to have restrictions on country, length of time of existence on bsky, and some sort of filtering for those just trying to follow everyone.

Gotta be the most idiotic thing. I can just imagine the hell that will break from disinformation. SynthID won't help because the perp doesn't give a Sh*t, and folks will believe anything. I sure hope Google changes their direction on this.

Excellent post. I also suggest something like the Marshall Plan to win their hearts (after solid defeat of course).
Also today I feel like I have to quote Anastasius Focht:
Wars are not won on the field of combat. Battles are, but those are only ever part of the story. To win a war you need to break the enemy's resolve, to force him to accept defeat. Otherwise the war will never end.
