We’ve been asking people to let us know in the comments if they want a follow back but this is beyond laborious, it’s impossible. Bluesky only shows the top 500 comments.

We figured out the easiest way is to follow back is to follow who REPOSTS, not comments on a post, because when we click to see who reposts, it gives us a follow back button for every account.
I only follow back accounts that post or comment, I want to know there’s a brain behind the account. Many dubious accounts only repost or like to feed their bots
I actually do find it disappointing that you can't see who's following you on here – you can see if someone has blocked you (there is sort of a way), but not if someone is following you, unless you go to your list.
Might be my imagination, but seems to me some of sanctimonious self-righteousness from left that it had mounted on x has morphed into a more collegial, friendly tone.
Maybe bc no constant attacks
... need to maintain ⬆️. Refreshing. More conducive to building alliances btw those w relatively small differences in Outlook.
From what I've seen this morning, I'm afraid bots are beginning to make a more concerted invasion. Trying to erode safety here.
Pls report & block obvious trolls/bots 2/2
Glad that works except the constant reposting is going to drive me off Blue Sky. People re-post the same thing over & over or they re-post 15x an hour.
It's just clutter and clogs up my feed.
Before the mute button is raised I can only mute the entire account not just re-posts. It is annoying.
Um, you are turning this into a job, and we don’t work for you. How about just posting some thoughtful, relevant and original content and letting “social media nature” take its course?
I think you've got something there. I don't have nearly the volume you do, but I find it so hard to follow back. I like this idea of following those who repost.
Finally…
Thank you for the follow back.
Much appreciated.
Please keep acknowledging and recognizing the meaningful voice and support of small accounts.
