Please do, it’s a never ending battle!

FTW

Report them.

Thanks Paul. We can cope though.

Cool 😎 👍🏼

Sign me up I've killed 29 already I could be a very valuable asset in hunting down the remaining bots

Hallelujah! TY! 🩷

Are those all those young ladies wearing precious little, considering the time of year? Or does it include all the old fellas 'looking for love'?

I knew WaPo would take this turn once they lost Marty Barron as their editorial leader, who was also the editorial leader at The Boston Globe back in the days when the pedophile priest story broke here. He was not afraid to buck the brass and Cardinal Cushing to reveal the truth.

Good you’re on it thanks!

If it's obviously a bot account, y'all give us the option to report it as such. If you get multiple reports of a bot account, y'all should suspend or just nuke the account.

Thank you. Until then how hard would it be to get a bulk action list to block or follow all based on selections?

Hey, better than Nazis!

Hehe, I was literally followed by a user called Alexa a few minutes ago.

Sex bots are totally welcome over here.

Show them no mercy ;)

Hashtags a bit sad too. Feeds or searches doesn’t always pick it up. 🫠

Second that.☝️

You can take a look at my followers. I just joined and have no reason for anyone to be following me yet definitely bots

I block them and leave the conversation. I hope they give up soon. I have about 10 every time i log in.

Thank you! 💯

Thank you ☘️💚

Agree on this if it’s spam it should be spam be gone thanks☺️

Thank God!

Do the sex bots look like?

What about accounts of terrorist organizations like @sepahpasdaranirgc.bsky.social ?

Thanx, Psul, for keeping us in the loop. I know it must be murrrrrderrrrr.

Thank you!

Thank you

thank you

This is true. Too many bots all over all social media.

Give us a way to approve followers, or a way to block them en masse from the list of new followers. I wouldn’t mind so much if it didn’t take 6 clicks to block each bot.

Thanks

Same.

Let me auto-block anyone following more than like 500 accounts.

I think every young Asian girl in her 20s who has great taste in clothing, cuisine, is a world traveler and is full of inspiring thoughts and observations, has followed me.

Only 14 more days!

I've been tempted to tell the Gaza ones to go ask Jill Stein for some help, but I block them immediately anyhow.

You can send them some money for the operation their baby needs. lol.

And the time, energy, and of the priority to make comments on the politics and issues of the day? Time to get real.

And can charge the cell phones they took the pictures on…

They only have eyes for... your retirement pension pot

We all have our crosses to bear 🤗

I get those too. It's so stupid and funny at the same time.

Haha and here I thought they were all wanting me a 66 year old grey-haired Englishwomen. I think they’re a bit confused tbh, I’m not gay, I’m old, I’ve already blocked about 300 of them and now I’m reporting every single one as spam seeing as my profile clearly states NO PORN

Can't we just match them up with the older middle aged guys who "Love Jesus", are "Looking for a special someone" and just want to be friends?

Yeah, seems @Britney86520954563 followed me from 'X' to here. How did she know?

Blade runners are ro-bots too.

Yeah. A lot of them look the same.

Same. I guess the rainbow flag in my profile doesn’t tip off the bots.

It's sickening

Thank you!

Please don't just share on this forum. Get on the phone or e-mail and tell someone in DC what you think. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money. We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com

oh wow you're right i just checked?? okay yeah scratch what i said

Thank you

Bot followers! I opened Bluesky up at lunchtime today and there was a couple of guys hard at it. It just about put me off my lunch.

Thank you, Paul. You guys are doing an amazing job.

Thank you Paul

I altered the quote, at the end. That's the joke.

bless you, thank you for addressing this👏🏻

We do know. Part that confuses you, blade runner, that's a Sci fi reference, they separate real humans from androids, by killing androids Best sci fi there is, some of us believe, look it up

Thank you!

Not as bad as the folks who keep reposting Twitter.

Seriously don’t know how y’all do it (I really don’t). We (my family) have to deal with impersonators & that alone is a full time job! Can’t imagine

Thank you.

And a crazy amount of "gofundme" and bio's that state Gambia. Hopefully a resolution can be initiated. Thanks @bsky.app

Wait, I broke a hundred, and they're just BOTS!?!

tbh being able to disable notifications for new followers might help a little?

It is possible to tell the difference between a human following accounts and a bot doing it. Bots can be tweaked to appear more human-like, but this also slows them down which is also progress.

Like 👍🏼 💕

So very, very many. 😖

I'd take a search function in our follower lists, along with filters and select options, to quickly scan through bot/bad faith actors and remove them.

Yes ☝

Could be a start.

? That domain is the one we're on because you can only create a BlueSky account on BlueSky?

Exactly… ANYONE who posts, “get all my links?” BAN HAMMER.

I kinda expect my followers to drop nearly in half if they all go. The porn bots seem attracted to moi. Not a gift I care for. Good luck! Looking forward to the lower count for the higher quality experience!

A way to block any account with a probable porn link such as onlyfans would be great.

That's good you might also want to look at fake celebrity accounts.

Thank you. I am loving your platform. So happy to be free of the toxicity elsewhere.

Thank you!

Cool. There’s a ton.

nice to know! I thought it might just be something I'd have to live with. Bot repliers, too.

Yep. Those and their counterparts, all of them US American men. My reaction to *god fearing* in all its manifestations is the same as yours, btw. See my bio.

Instant block for me as well.

Thank you 🙏. It’s gotten really bad…

Thank you and the team for all your time and attention to this matter. It is appreciated even if we don’t always show it.

Skin Jobs are a dime a dozen in the dark alleys of despair.

Word. I myself work in fraud/cyber security and bots are one bane of all existence. The conceptual to sometime realized beauty - and then inevitable pitfalls of technology. Gotta love/hate it.

you mean this one is not real 🤣
