Any other #adhd folk have a habit of buying lottery tickets but never checking to see if they’ve won anything?
I’ve done that for years.
For all I know I’m a millionaire many times over while living on the income of a low-level academic. 🙄🤷🏻

Anyone here aware of folks/projects looking for/tracking/warning about #bots n fake accounts on @bsky.app?
Is there an internal team monitoring?
Perhaps users should set up a list/ warning hash to ID confirmed fakes — or would that be too easily abused?

Know what I don’t miss about X?
Having to delete the constant flow of new followers whose avatar is a sexy woman, whose accnt was created mid 2023, who follows 6-7000 accnts, who has 60-80 followers and who has never posted.
They must be real people, though, because Elon got rid of the bots.
Right?
