Reached 28 million Bluesky users. Interesting, the number of users per second seems to be creeping up. A few days ago was often less than one a second. Is this increase due to the pending inauguration?

Make it stop! Been followed by about 15 variants of this damn account, each one of which I’ve reported and blocked. I guess it’s a sign of Bluesky’s success. But so damn annoying

Fucking bots. Lots of well curated reposts in this account so I give the off-putting ‘seductive’ profile pic the benefit of the doubt and follow back. Only to get this annoying ‘Hello’ and you know where this is going

They are getting cleverer. This guy followed me with a respectable bio and feed, claiming to be Brazil reporter for Financial Times. I follow back and instantly get this. A complete shyster. Probably going to offer me crypto.
