PSA: operating a bot that interacts with users on another user's behalf, without verifying that the recipient actually wants to receive interaction (eg following the sender) is like operating an open relay or open proxy. don't do it!

They're getting even sneakier, and not just renaming their profile display name, bio, and profile photo, but also renaming the account under the same DID to make it look even more like a false positive. Evidence in photos (see alt text).
The latter two screenshots are the exact same account!

There will be hundreds of posts on a fringe website claiming the opposite, causing an AI tool to shrug its shoulders and produce an outcome suggesting impropriety where there is none.
Needless to say, this is not great and I'm determined to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.

These tools have no limitations on "use up to 100 data points from this one website", they treat all the 1000s of correlated data points as independent and give them heavy weight and credence as a majority of the information available rather than a fringe minority that is shrill and repeats itself.

A year ago, Joshua Moon crowdfunded >150k USD into an IOLTA, ostensibly to fund plaintiff-side litigation on behalf of his website Kiwi Farms and its operating entity Lolcow LLC. Instead, he spent "a lot" of it to help Vincent Zhen set aside the 445k AUD default judgment for defamation in Australia.

After nearly two exhausting years of litigation, I have agreed to settle the defamation claim I brought against Vincent Zhen and Flow Chemical in the Supreme Court of Victoria. I will be able to share more when all the documents have been signed and exchanged.

Curious why our blocklist often shows as empty? It's because @safety.bsky.app is doing their job.
Suspended accounts are removed from the list, and sometimes removal-flagged but not yet fully suspended accounts cause list rendering to choke partway through displaying the list.

I know people are ragging on @safety.bsky.app but they're doing 1 thing right: KF accounts are often being suspended within minutes of creation; sometimes by the time I go to add one to @endharassment.net's blocklist it's already been suspended. Or I'll check back 30 min after adding and it's gone.

So, let's talk about why a bunch of KF accounts are popping up on Bluesky to begin with. What they're doing is target hunting, and the signal they're looking for is reactions. They're looking for reactions because, spoiler alert, there are not as many of them as they would like you to think. -ACL
"But what if they're stalking my messages."
BlueSky is a public protocol. It's always been a public protocol.
If anyone cares to, they could run a node and watch all your messages (including deleted ones) *without* ever tipping you off.
The incentive behind their behavior is to provoke reactions.

If you get followed by a bot promoting a harassment forum, just report it as spam.
You don't need to make a moral argument about it beyond that.

We're going to have to walk back doing all additions by hand, responding to botting with human reaction times and human attention spans is not a sustainable approach. bsky T&S show no signs of being able to stem the flood, so we're going to need automatic listing w/ a manual post-facto review.
What the owners of @block-kiwifarms.bsky.social appear to be doing at the moment (after forking ours) is adding anyone who has ever posted a link to KF on here, even if to point out harassing behavior, which has a significant false positive rate.
