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.

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
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.

Since it's apparently necessary, I just want to clarify that I do understand that the rainbow check accounts are a joke making fun of X's silly "verification" system.
My decision to include them here was likewise intended as humor, not a demand for Bsky to take them down.

What about a rudimentary script that compiles accounts with say less than 5 followers, less than 5 posts, and 5 or more other accounts who blocked it - and this list dynamically updates and becomes a widely applied proactive bot blocker…
14/45
APH @aph757.bsky.social
I feel it’s easier to work off count thresholds… unless some logic can be applied to the firehouse data to parse out the “too similar” accounts based on their other attributes
15/45
Bsky Hub @bskyhub.com
Yeah I'm thinking something along those lines..
I think you could use a variety of techniques to catch them. i.e. if it is just follower count they might all start following each other.
16/45
Bsky Hub @bskyhub.com
But the yes, create an automated labelling system or giant list of accounts that anyone can subscribe to so users can these accounts en masse.

Dungeon Church @dungeon.churchIt seems like for Ghost can add the dependencies in Code Injection, and then insert an HTML block into the post to link it? I'm not an expert, lemme see if I can get it working on my site....

Dungeon Church @dungeon.churchWhile we're talking about this, I wish Ghost (@ghost.org) had native Bluesky posting support instead of X
Currently I use a script to process the X metadata from an API post into a Bluesky post (which was fairly straightforward because the bsky docs are good). But I suck at coding so native would be nice

Rufus White | Tarot Therapy @tarottherapy.spaceThanks, I will see if I can work out how to implement this on my php/modx backend
17/52
Rufus White | Tarot Therapy @tarottherapy.spaceWell, I think I did a pretty good job of getting this working in php. I use modx as my CMS, so I added a template variable where I can add a bluesky URL to each article, where it will then populate the comments from. The comments are also cached to reduce load time (cache refreshed every 30 mins).

Lou Marvin Caraig | HeyEcho.xyz @se7entyse7en.meThis is cool! This reminds me of a project that applied a similar concept with GitHub issues comments

It is a very nice platform, a lot of sane reasonable good faith discussions without the constant racism and right wing white supremacy that is on twitter, i encourage others to sign up the more platforms like this get stronger influence the less power and influence a racist like elon musk has over the political discourse
no algorithm so if you are not an X import, you will have zero reach even if you have hundreds or thousands of followers. Basically will be threads and die like threads too. Whatever you came in with, is what you leave with period.

Alicia, Courtyard Urbanist @urbancourtyard.bsky.social
To reverse suburban sprawl and reduce energy consumption, we need to re-urbanize the ordinary families who flee cities every year for the “big house with a yard” in the burbs and exurbs.

Alicia, Courtyard Urbanist @urbancourtyard.bsky.social
By providing residents with urban conveniences as well as the big house with a yard (but stacked for density), courtyard blocks are the green solution to suburban sprawl.

Brent ToderianBIG STARTER PACK NEWS!

Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.socialWATCH: Big shout-out to climate scientist & excellent communicator Katharine Hayhoe (@katharinehayhoe.com), my Starter Pack Partner today, on her fantastic job on Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel.com) explaining how to talk with your family and friends about the #ClimateCrisis. Great advice for ANY Subject!
3/35
Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.socialNEW: Was wondering how you turn a Start Pack (like the one Katharine Hayhoe (@katharinehayhoe.com) and I launched yesterday connecting the dots between smarter city planning and climate action), and then Bluesky went and made this one for us! Thanks! Share this with your friends. Bluesky

Anna Fahey @trufahey.bsky.socialRecommend:
Big name climate brains outspoken re: pro-housing
@volts.wtf The one and only Bill McKibben (@billmckibben.bsky.social) And is KC Golden on Bsky? His climate case for #housing affordability solutions in cities (specifically to #WAleg) is a must-read
Housing solutions are climate solutions | Op-Ed

Robert Zaichkowski @rzaichkowski.bsky.socialToronto based bike blogger here. I created a starter pack for Toronto Area Cyclists which could be of use for some of your urbanism related starter packs. ;) Toronto Area Cyclists (and Friends)

Chris Dymond @chrisdymond.bsky.socialHey, thanks for including me, Brent Toderian (@brenttoderian.bsky.social) & Katharine Hayhoe (@katharinehayhoe.com)! I’ve been on BlueSky since beta but it’s been a bit lonely - I’m definitely going to up my content game now, though
And if anyone here’s working in smart cities trans-disciplinarity & eduction, do get in touch!
12/35
Katharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.comlove it!
13/35
Adrian Hiel @adrianhiel.bsky.socialNeed some heating experts, especially heat planning and District heating. It's often the biggest source of emissions in cities.

Elizabeth McN @elizabird.bsky.socialHi, great. How about a starter pack for urban forestry? Maybe find people like Kesha Braunskill, Matt Spitsen, Ming Kuo, Paul Johnson, folks at SFI, Arbor Day Fdn, etc.?
18/35
Connor Sharp @connorsharp.bsky.socialLove it! For some more folks from NZ talking about cities and climate I'd suggest us at Greater Auckland (@greaterauckland.bsky.social)
(Myself and Patrick Reynolds (@patrickreynolds.bsky.social) )
Also Tim Adriaansen (@timtalkstrash.bsky.social) would be a great addition!
19/35

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.socialI'd suggest Robert Lepage, PhD., P.Eng. (@rtmlepage.bsky.social) for this - he might be too humble and suggest he doesn't focus explicitly on urbanism enough but I think his work is so relevant to urban issues and climate change that he should be
22/35
The Dark Sky Ambassador @darkskyambassador.bsky.socialI’m passionate about promoting smart and responsible lighting in urban areas, new builds, and retrofits to save energy, improve health, protect wildlife, and preserve the night sky, any chance I may be considered for the list?
23/35
Gabriel Siqueira @gabrieldread.bsky.socialExcited about this Starter Pack! As Sustainability Data Manager at Kausal, I help cities manage climate action plans with data-driven tools to hit their climate goals. I’d love to be included to share insights from our work empowering cities worldwide!

Yup! It's horribly convoluted but it's a glimmer of hope for a truly decentralised social web.

I'm not doing that. I need two distinct places, so I will have somewhere to go when I say something really stupid on one platform, until it all blows over.

Mike Masnick (@mmasnick.bsky.social) @ap@bsky.brid.gy I thought about it, but how? You can't follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy from Threads unless the account has interacted with you. Or can you bridge entiring your account's URL into the "website bridge"?

You can follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, you just can't do it through the Threads app.
Any web browser (including mobile web) will work by going here: Threads • Log in

I'm sure all the people leaving x and threads etc will be pleased as punch that oh they can be dumped on here, and, I assume, they'll be some data scrapping to come later. Cool cool cool. Am I understanding this correctly or am I missing something?

You're missing that it's all within a user's control. Don't like it, you don't have to set it up.

Ben K @realbenk.bsky.social
Thanks for the clarification. Does that extend to others who interact with that user's activity?

Mike MasnickWait. So if you're on Threads and enable fediverse sharing, and then also use Bridgy Fed for the fediverse (@ap.brid.gy), your Threads account can also be syndicated here via Threads -> ActivityPub -> Bridgy -> Bluesky.

Nice, I just noticed that @bsky.brid.gy is also working for @threads users. As an example, Bluesky users can see posts from @0xjessel

A bit clumsy today, but that is the future:
