Hi friends, I think some of those cute animal photo accounts that were appearing en masse a couple months ago might be already flipping over to shitheel accounts, be warned

I think that the majority of my blocks are those auto-cute-animals-pretty-scenery accounts that just scrape images with no credit at all to the originators. They're already shitheels, IMO.
I blocked anyone like that who looked like they were just adding people to get more follows. I go through and do that periodically with newer followers.
Brooke, you’re indeed correct in your assumption of these pseudo accounts. They are here for the wrong reasons and have already become problematic. That stated, I have a query. I have been following you for quite sometime, and you’re haven’t followed back. Problem? 🤷🏽♂️
Still some glitches I suppose. There was a glitch that removed followers from others discussed here in the past, don’t know if that has been corrected?
Our issue was easy to fix. 😁
It looks like 95% porn spam and misc troll/bot accounts, but 5% legit accounts. I end up blocking 1 at a time because I don't like the false positives, and the contagion that can happen to people who get put on a BL accidentally
I’m happy to confirm that ottery account @hattieotter.bsky.social is a long-standing Good Egg from the Other Place (can’t vouch for moles on here though)
I’m not sure of the etiquette on Bluesky, but be warned I drink a lot of very strong tea*. And I mean a lot.

For cute animals, Xitter refugees @theherdhouse.bsky.social, @bunsenbernerbmd.bsky.social, @weratedogs.bsky.social, and of course @darthbluesky.bsky.social reskeets plenty.
And let's not forget @jortsthecat.bsky.social
I wasn't too sure about them, bc "good art" accounts tend to be fashy, but they have been putting up modern and contemporary stuff, so they seem to buck the trend.

Still cats, I'm safe for now

And the cat people hit me like a tornado yesterday.
Then came the angry swarm of green party voters today.
Oh.
