I just made a new account on BS, I haven’t done anything at all yet, no comments, likes, etc. Immediately followed by a woman with an OF link in her bio. Is that not against the rules? How did she find my account?
It's a bot. It's another DAMN bot. Many used to follow me on Tw###er before I made my account private. Though they were just random names and pictures of women (most of the time not sexual), and their profiles were basically empty. Before I figured it out, it was really weird to experience.

I wonder how long it'll last before it gets all spammy.
My wife signed up and immediately got spam followers peddling their grindset business growth hacking bullshit, a porn bot, and an “inspirational quotes” karma farming bot.
Yeah, I got all those plus a bunch of furry stuff and all kinds of kink accounts. Blueskys block and filters are really good though and it took me all of 30 mins of marking posts as "show me less of this" and blocking obvious bots. Haven't had an issue since, really.
I just hate how the platform owners turn a blind eye to spam because of the perverse incentive. It would take like 5 lines of code to auto-ban any IP/account that auto-follows brand new accounts within minutes and never interacts with the account that the bot spam-follows.

Leaving the musky fields for where the sky is truly bluer.
What's Bluesky going to do to combat Russian bots and misinformation, and essentially keep it from becoming Twitter/X?

I might give Bluesky a shot, but it better not end up like f'n Reddit.

Would be hilarious if Musk buy that too.
Bluesky? What even is that? Mastodon all the way
I got like 10 follows in three days from actual accounts. I've posted/replied just a few times and my avatar is Richard Simmons. I figured something was up
I use both Mastodon and BlueSky and I don't really care for platforms like Twitter. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are good in their own ways but I think BlueSky is user friendly. Easy to setup looks super similar to Twitter, easier to navigate.
Plus, I have heard about it pretty much everywhere. It is commonly compared to Threads. I only know and heard about Mastodon on Lemmy.
