I was wondering why I was in my popular phase lol

BTW, speaking of DMs, it'd be lovely to be able to send pics there

Seriously! I'm an opossum! Why do these human porn bots think I care about them? Mama is spending all of her time deleting them instead of petting me!

ya

Should we report every bot that follows or likes?

We shall reclaim Bluesky harbor!!

Look I don’t want to lose ppl being able to dm me. No.

I would LOVE to be a Moderator or somesuch... I've been fighting those "Fake Identity" Scammers on FB for years now. I'm getting good at seeing those Telltale Signs of a fake HERE on 🦋. 👉Check out my PINNED POST 📫 🙂 THANK YOU for all you do! 🫶

We shall never surrender!

And in the always tempting #OnlyFansAdvertisingProfiles lol 😆

@stellashields.bsky.social One more for you.

Cool. I only have 4 DM threads: 2 with good friends, & 2 from now deleted accounts that were clearly adult oriented bot accounts. Please do what you can to prevent them from signing up & I'll help to report the ones that get through.

Back to invite-only mode! Nah, really, this is a hard problem; gates against bots getting started will block some humans; Mechanisms to kick off bots will kick some humans, or be abused/ manipulated to attack humans; Any gate with human review will get flooded; Fun times all around! Good luck

Thank you. We do not like those bots and spam We do not like them, Paul you am

Major bot list bsky.app/profile/squi... And this one bsky.app/profile/did:... Another one bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:...

I’d like to submit a request for ‘report as hoe-bot’, delete and report as junk

We will fight them in the fields, we shall never surrender.

Hope this will be your finest hour! Never in the history of social media will so much be owed by so many to so few...

I was advised to block anyone who sent a DM. I've done a lot of blocking!

(also please, please, add an edit function...)

Fight back with your own bots. Like the grandma ai that wastes scammers time. Except its horny neckbeard AI that feeds them bad paypal accounts while whining about being friendzoned by th0ts

😳 Jerry? How the hell did he get in here? Is he a bot? I didn't know they had normal names

The rest of that quote is a bit less inspiring, sadly.

No ifs, ands, or bots.

Many of the scammers and porn bots seem to have high profile followers as some of the Alex variation manage to get into follower boosters Just Bizarre that few are vetting the wheat from the chaff …

🫡 🦋

We will fight them Everywhere!

Why is there no 'bot' option as a reason for reporting an account?

dont give them ideas!!

Thank you. I left the house for 4 hours before Christmas and got over 3000 “followers” in that time. I deleted that account out of fear I’d been hacked.

How come you folks don't block IP addresses? Threads is doing this and it's an absolute killer of automated robo new accounts that swarm sites like yours. Very effective for porn and agitator bot farms...

Don’t engage - block block block

They should fight them with a bear.

Mayday I need your help against the bots. Waste them all.

I have a suggestion to help you do this. What's the best way to suggest it?

Hope it works....but in the meantime....a better verison of that speech... youtu.be/uNhq-sQi5EY?...

Getting 5 or more bots skeets to be lost like tears in the rain….

( @pfrazee.com voice) I’ve seen spam you people wouldn’t believe

Is there a bot reporting process?

I'm going to blame a Trojan Starter Pack.

Thank you for your service. So many bots…

that seems too intimate

🔘 Force captcha for new followers.

It has served me well in life!!! My mantra: Conversational, not confrontational.

💙

The only DMs I have ever received are from bots.

This wasn't very "Cat in the Hat" of you....

It would be interesting to know sooo much more about this attack (it feels kind an attack). We want to know who did it and how they monetized the scam. I’m hoping for: ‘Bulgarian teens who scam men into giving up CC info for amateur hour Only Fans content with no way to unsubscribe’.

PLEASE let us remove them as followers, not just block them. It's getting embarrassing.

✊

Perfect. I have a whole stable of them.

Top tier reference

DM equals Block in my book unless I really know you.

How can we help besides reporting and blocking?

Do you have tips on what to look out for?

What can we do to help?

Thank you for all your hard work so far, you’re all doing a great job. When are we getting verification? Not being able to verify is putting a lot of good folks off joining the platform. 💙🩵💙🩵

Thank you Paul

To many 80085 accounts signing up 🥹😂

🤣🤣

I have an idea to mitigate the inevitable disinfo. Allow both verified and non-verified accounts on the BSKY, BUT: Be able to see the ratio of verified and non-verified likes/comments. If a conspiracy is getting 50K likes but 40K are from unverified accounts, it would be an indication it's BS.

Good. If you set a good example and show that it's possible to deal with this issue, you will get great kudos.

Thank you

I am seeing a difference already. Fewer bots

Aww, and here I thought Lizzie was all in for me!😂 Seems like they could be doing a whole lot more about it.

This is Bluesky’s finest hour!

let's see their rapist king help them, hope there are some Luigi's outside waiting for them

Thank you for your ongoing hard work!🦋💙

Thank you!

Just wondering if making people re-sign in once in awhile and confirm they aren't a bot might help

I got Alexxa 😂

Hey, maybe they're getting closer to the end of the alphabot. 🤣

Thank you. I've filed two reports. It's really pervasive. Thanks.

But can you fight them at the source?

Thanks. Giving me grief at the moment as there is no way to stop them. Glad you’re on the case.

Oh I get it!!! Alexa, like the AI Amazon thing…

Ugh, so many messed up spellings of Alex… make it stop. 🛑

Yeah girl I have a John Travolta, Paul McCartney LOL

I had about 6 notifications of Alexxaa types following me today, but when I checked my followers to do an Obvious Bot purge, they had all vanished. I think it's working.

Are they all 18?

"Bellaaaa, where the hell have you been, locaaaa?"

I had to block the A bot with the tongue out 20+ times to day!

Beulaaaahhhhxx, Beaaathrice, Beaurgauaardd!!

🫣

I had Anne Hathaway follow me. She had zero posts so I blocked her.

Already are. Lots of "bellas" variants

Same as me. I block and report. I'll do whatever is best to help get rid of these

Is musk naming them?

Ooh, I got one, too!

Heck yes - this is the account that has been following me every few hours from yesterday through today. So annoying.

oh no! Urgency! Please like this comment to make it stoppppp!!!!

I got her with 5 different names and the same picture 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve lost count of how many of those I’ve put in this list bsky.app/profile/did:...

Thank you!!

Thank you blocked about 20 call girls in the last week. You guys do a great job 👏

It has to be difficult...sooo many bots soo few good guys...

Please! It’s insane at the moment.

I currently have an embarrassment of riches in the Prince of Dubai department. I dream of doing an elaborate bit where I convince each that I sent the money as instructed on their “other account”.

Oh, and they bring the strippers with them. 😬

This is the way.

3 literally just followed me. All of them with the same name and profile picture at different angles.

Block before the problem gets bigger. They are junk anyway and will show up later in ways you may not want. Blocking prevents that from happening. (I need to go back through mine as well.)
