Bumping the threadstarter to repeat the plea again: PLEASE stop using follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1k, #NoDemUnder5k, #BlueCrew, #FBR, #FBPE, etc -- any "use this hashtag/like this post/repost this post/reply to this post/etc to get followers". You are providing cover for bad actors.

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

I would really like that, and I bet other people would, too.
If you WANT to look for a candidate for one of your lists? It’s @ rayleengale. But no need to do so on my behalf. :)

And here I thought I'd finally get some of the followers I lost back :/
I saw @fieldteam6.bsky.social is running a series on using Bluesky. I wonder if they already plan to address identifying/combating disinfo and if not, if they’ll consider adding the topic?
Too many bad actirs out there.
But if you want to get my attention, interact in some way. I’ll be curious enough to check out your profile and recent activity.
Following games and trains are not my thing.
Vet carefully and often!
Keeping my list as clean as possible!
