I retired after 33 years teaching high school math and coaching golf and have reawakened my inner photographer. I continue to play guitar daily and waste the rest of my time playing with photo editing software.

So I have been getting weirdly friendly chats on BlueSky and Mastodon that are just not normal, yet. Anyone else think AI bots are working on this platform?
Screenshot showing two chat request threads on my account. Screenshot of one of the chat threads that seems, to me, fake. I wonder if other people are getting these too, or if I'm just "lucky".

Watched some experts at work putting out a blaze and shot a few photos of them in action. The brush fire was about half of a mile north of the 60 freeway, a few hundred yards West of Moreno Beach Drive. Lake Perris is about 4 miles south of the fire.

New to BSky, trying a few posts. Today I was followed by a user (scammer?) who started chatting with me. It felt "off", I waited. User sent 2nd message about the previous message. Then another (different?) user following me with similar bsky handle. I blocked them both. Suggestions? #scammer

#addBirder I'm interested in learning how to use this platform and I take photos of birds among many other subjects. Pelicans, Mazatlán, Mexico.
