So I joined Bluesky over a year ago and have only ever posted a single message “Hi”. I’ve also not liked or commented on any posts. Somehow (especially recently) I am getting followed more and more. I have over a hundred followers now. I’m guessing bots? It’s the sudden recent surge over the last couple of months that’s interesting.
My wife is on bluesky and she was telling me yesterday she has had a surge of random followers as well, most likely bots. What she was annoyed about is the block feature doesn’t get them to unfollow you or something. And a portion of the bots are porn repost bots.
