I use(d) Twitter for niche interactive hobbies that didn't have enough people on Mastodon to engage with.

I just made a new account on BS, I haven’t done anything at all yet, no comments, likes, etc. Immediately followed by a woman with an OF link in her bio. Is that not against the rules? How did she find my account?

You're just that hot 🔥

It's a bot. It's another DAMN bot. Many used to follow me on Tw###er before I made my account private. Though they were just random names and pictures of women (most of the time not sexual), and their profiles were basically empty. Before I figured it out, it was really weird to experience.

The most important, how many people will stay.

I might give Bluesky a shot, but it better not end up like f'n Reddit.

I wonder how long it'll last before it gets all spammy.

My wife signed up and immediately got spam followers peddling their grindset business growth hacking bullshit, a porn bot, and an “inspirational quotes” karma farming bot.

I got like 10 follows in three days from actual accounts. I've posted/replied just a few times and my avatar is Richard Simmons. I figured something was up

I use both Mastodon and BlueSky and I don't really care for platforms like Twitter. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are good in their own ways but I think BlueSky is user friendly. Easy to setup looks super similar to Twitter, easier to navigate.

Plus, I have heard about it pretty much everywhere. It is commonly compared to Threads. I only know and heard about Mastodon on Lemmy.
