u/Then-9999

I made a Bluesky account to build an unfollower tracker in public.

Today I sent "hey" to two people who already followed me. No link. No pitch. Just "hey".

Now my DMs are disabled.

When I try to appeal, it just says "failed to send request".

I emailed support but no reply yet.

Has anyone dealt with this? Is there a way to actually fix it or reach a human?

I'm just trying to build here 😭

I’ve been trying to understand something lately.

A lot of people think the hardest part of outreach is sending the first message.

But honestly I don’t think that’s the real problem anymore.

Sometimes people don’t reply at all.

Sometimes they reply once and the conversation dies right after.

Sometimes you don’t know what to ask next.
Or how to keep the conversation natural without sounding pushy, awkward, or salesy.

And sometimes you realize too late that you never actually got the information you needed in the first place.

I’ve been studying real outreach conversations recently, and I’m noticing that a lot of people struggle with:

• first messages that feel too generic
• overexplaining too early
• follow-ups that feel forced
• conversations losing momentum after the first reply
• not knowing how to guide the conversation naturally

So I want to try something:

If you have an outreach conversation that went nowhere (cold DMs, validation chats, client outreach, whatever), send it to me.

I’ll try to break down:

• where the conversation started failing
• what might’ve felt off from the other side
• and what I would’ve done differently

Free obviously.

I’m mainly trying to learn patterns from real conversations because I think this problem is way more common than people admit.
