Just wondering if I am the only person who automatically blocks all new followers who are following huge numbers (50K or more), have 1 or 2 followers, and zero posts or comments. They seem to be fakes to me

I do the same. I also block attractive young women who have some nonsense inspirational quote in their profile. I’m probably cutting out some incredible opportunities for myself but I’ll live with the consequences. 😂
On a more serious note, if the great majority of activity is reposting instead of new posts or replies =block. If almost all posts are political in nature I won’t follow back. One thing I like about Bluesky is the ability to control your own experience to a great degree
Oops—so far I’ve been almost all political since those are the accounts I moved over in a block from Marc Elias. Once I get more balanced in who I am following, I hope to expand from just politics.
Yours is different. Besides I know you. It’s hard to define what is is I don’t want. I’m trying to limit knuckleheads of all types. Nothing knucklehead ish about your posts. Nothing there meant to stir up 💩 with no other purpose
Most of my follows and followers are travel/ photography types. I’m trying to learn to take better photos within my parameters. I have my criteria for them too. Authenticity is primary
I do the same. There is a social media trust-and-safety specialist “Rahaeli” who makes some very helpful block lists (including follow farmers with huge numbers). She also puts up posts teaching about the various scams and how to identify them. Well worth following her!
