We’re aware of the bot followers. We know it’s really irritating for yall. The blade runners are working hard and we’re looking at bigger steps.

Unless I already follow your account or its domain verified, I’ll be blocking all other followers due to the increase in bot accounts

as of this week, when you verify your account by updating your username from a default like emily.bsky.social to your website @emilyliu.me, your former bsky.social username is reserved for you automatically (and prevents impersonators from claiming it). you can revert back to it at anytime

The of the best things about Bluesky is the ability to self-verify using domain verification, a thread of guides to setup DNS records for common personal site providers.
