I don't think it's as prevalent yet. I've followed a couple of chicks who posted their Bluesky links and basically once you clear your settings. It seems to be just like Twitter. I just don't think there are as many yet for the feeds to seem like it's everywhere.

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the first Bluesky user with a million followers
The Bronx and Queens Congresswoman has been active on Bluesky since early 2023. Users have been flocking to the decentralized platform since the US election.
Curious what type of data are you extracting?I messed up
script would click the button 960 times in a 24 hour period, basically once every 90 seconds. apparently that's too much.
i wasn't extracting anything, it was trying to get the site to update the posts for the web account profile it created more often but it didn't work. not even when i manually clicked it.
i never tested the add website feature but just tried it with thecoli and ...

it took like a minute to populate and show up after I added it.

Windows 10 forced stuff like Candy Crush on people and had a bad Start menu (bring back 7's). My little experience with it was quite poor.

BigOnAnime @bigonanime.bsky.social
I'm soon going to begrudgingly get an old used Thinkpad with 10 because browser support for 8.1 stopped so many things like streaming video no longer works outside Firefox due to oudated DRM.

rahaeli @rahaeli.bsky.social
The reason they haven't enabled images in DMs yet is because it's a really common abuse vector and allowing people to swap images one-on-one privately is a serious risk for the company (you can probably guess what people use it for, sigh).

Snailbunny Designs @snailbunnydesigns.bsky.social

This is just so stupid. I feel like the site needs actual verification of noteworthy users like old Twitter, not badges for random people who pay money. If you need to raise money from users ask for donations or something
35/40
gabriel @gabrielandworms.bsky.socialIt's this or ads, so I get it, but I think $8 a month is a little much. A lower price might make people more willing to get a sub

@snailbunnydesigns.bsky.socialNot that we don’t appreciate what you do but I can think of a few things I’d prefer over subscriptions. If you need to make money I understand totally, but as far as stuff that benifits us I’d say work on being able to pm images first. It would really help artists

@snailbunnydesigns.bsky.socialI just realized you aren’t the dev, well that response is more for them but seriously I would love to be able to pm images so I don’t have to communicate on freaking deviantart for commission work
39/40
rahaeli @rahaeli.bsky.social
The reason they haven't enabled images in DMs yet is because it's a really common abuse vector and allowing people to swap images one-on-one privately is a serious risk for the company (you can probably guess what people use it for, sigh).
40/40
Snailbunny Designs
@snailbunnydesigns.bsky.socialahhh yes that is an issue. I just wish there was a way around it without major privacy issues. It would be so much easier than switching programs. Also DA really sucks and I want to have an excuse to just not use it.

Every public action on Bluesky is available via a stream of events known as the firehose. By monitoring the firehose for repeated text, it is sometimes possible to quickly detect groups of spam accounts as they spawn.

Conspirador Norteño @conspirator0.bsky.social
Monitoring the Bluesky firehose for duplicate biographies over the course of 5 days yielded 2234 fake accounts of various types, including porn, crypto spam, and account selling operations. Over half of the spam accounts detected belong to a single network.
3/45
Conspirador Norteño @conspirator0.bsky.social
The largest network detected by monitoring the firehose consists of (at least) 1155 accounts with 80 distinct biographies of the form "passionate about <A> in the field of "<B>". To date, none of the accounts in this network has posted.
4/45
Conspirador Norteño @conspirator0.bsky.social
All of the accounts in this network were created between November 30th and December 3rd, 2024. Most of the accounts in the network follow a handful of real accounts; thus far, there is no discernible pattern to the accounts that the spam accounts follow.
5/45
Conspirador Norteño @conspirator0.bsky.social
This experiment turned up several smaller networks as well, such as this group of followback patriots named "Daisy" with stolen profile photos and two distinct repeated biographies.
Conspirador Norteño (@conspirator0.bsky.social)

Conspirador Norteño @conspirator0.bsky.social
Some of the detected spam accounts are for sale. In one case, the sales tactics border on extortion, in the form of 25 accounts named after major corporations with the repeated biography "message for a handle transfer fee or your competitor’s advertisements will be posted".
7/45
Conspirador Norteño @conspirator0.bsky.social
Finally, some of the spam networks detected by monitoring the Bluesky firehose are just plain weird, such as this set of 19 accounts with the biography “Because One Checkmark Just Isn’t Enough” and checkmarks in every color of the rainbow as avatars.

Digital Science is excited to announce that Altmetric, which gauges the online attention of research, has added the social media platform Bluesky as a new attention source for published research.
This major development sees Altmetric become the first to systematically track the impact of conversations about research on Bluesky, which has reached more than 23 million users.
The new attention source is reflected in the distinctive Altmetric Badges – appearing as a sky blue color – as well as in Altmetric Attention Scores, and will appear in further detail in Altmetric Explorer.
By adding Bluesky as an attention source, Altmetric will provide:
- Increased diversity of social media tracking
- Reliability and continuity in data
- Broader insights and analysis
- Transparent attention scoring
- Social media analytics to drive strategic decisions
Altmetric tracks Bluesky attention in real-time, detecting posts, reposts and quotes that contain a direct link to a scholarly output.
As of today, Altmetric has tracked 395,000 mentions of published research on Bluesky.
Amye Kenall, Vice President of Product, Data & Analytics Hub, Digital Science, said: “Bluesky has become a favored social media channel for research communications professionals and academics. Indeed, in our own research we found over 22% of researchers were using Bluesky over any other social media channel. We believe its importance to the global research conversation will strengthen even further over the coming years.
“Adding Bluesky to Altmetric unlocks a fresh, more comprehensive view of research conversations, which will help provide key insights into the attention research is receiving.
“With Altmetric, we’re empowering research communities to understand the real-world influence of their work. The inclusion of Bluesky supports our users’ need for transparent and comprehensive research engagement in today’s evolving social media landscape.”
Emily Liu, Bluesky Growth & Partnerships, said: “Scientists and researchers have been a core part of the Bluesky community since the very beginning, and we want to make this a great network for them. We’re excited that with Altmetric, it’s now easier to track conversations happening around their research.”
