BSKY is full of cam girls. I started getting random follows from people with no posts, and nothing on their profiles except links to the pages where they sell videos of themselves. Went straight to mastadon.

I mean... does every site where communication happens not have that? random scams are just part of the Internet, federated or not 🤷‍♀️

"I went somewhere open to the public and the public was there!" That's what you sound like talking about seeing a couple bots in 2025.

So back to Mastadon then. I was not using BSKY much anyway to be fair.

it looks like they are restricted only from turkey. the account in question looks fine from other countries, or through VPN.

Oh look, once again, I was right.

Be shocked if it wasn't so common.

Jack Dorsey earning those libertarian bona fides.

The site/system made by the guy who enabled Trump and Neo-Nazis to be platformed is bowing down to authoritarians? I'm shocked, shocked to find out that the rich person obeys the other rich people!
