this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

Also flag those as spam and get those accounts banned. Flagging and stuff is everyone's responsibility.

Too bad it doesn't seem like bluesky's moderation is very responsible. I've seen the same bot accounts go on for days unrestrained. Considering the amount of people migrating from the cesspool next door, one would imagine moderation would be a priority

Remember how a couple of months ago there were hardly any people here, and none of us were maliciously creating thousands of bots to be moderated? Bluesky is a small team and still building their systems. Be kinder to them while the shit rolls in, because *they're* the ones under it.

I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that they sure are hella efficient at automatically tagging adult content (often erroneously) so one would think they would also have a bot for more harmful behaviour as well
