I mean, if you go to one of the big #, and you look at happening now, you'll see 1000s of people posting, and they all have no or 1 like. It doesn't really make sense. People post all the time, but they don't really interact. There are lots of people posting, no one sharing or liking.

Do people even interact on Bluesky? I scroll past 100s of accounts and postings, and the accounts have 5-10,000 followers and they are getting 1-3 likes. I thought it was just because I took a lot of time off, but it seems like it's the norm.

This candy seems to have said something bad about your mother? Other than circus peanuts, which are obviously not candy at all, these seem to be the most hated candies. Anyone brave enough to like them? Other hated candies? Happy Halloween.
