I reported and blocked three blatant Russian trolls posing as angry American “former Democrats” blaming Ukraine for the fires or similar. They have deployed on Bluesky. Look for them with no profile pic, almost nothing but reply posts, and the same crappy Russian cartoons. Report, block, hide.
Comments
The mod deleted all his lists and apologized.
The irony of me posting this on SM is not lost on me....
All of them have limited engagement across the platform except for standing up to Russia in any post where anybody calls them out - they are also very much Pro musk
Block and move on

🙏💙
It saves people time blocking them
Were we divided when the hurricane hit Appalachia. No. Because Biden was in office and the Repugs wanted to help red voters.
But now the voters and officials are blue and we’re the enemy. Fuck MAGA.

We are being played. They have been mentored by the best. WWPD.
What would Putin do?
Vet your block lists.
I found us on a fake “MagaTrills” block list trying to keep advocates and Blue crew from networking.
I’ve been reporting them, but first just to spite them I vet and follow people who are blue or support equality.
Laughs on them,
Stronger together
From a Wikipedia entry about Russian bot farms
"To avert suspicions, the users sandwich political remarks between neutral articles on travelling, cooking and pets.[25] They overwhelm comment sections of media to render meaningful dialogue impossible.[39][40]
Sadly, it is making Blue Sky less enjoyable.
It's almost like Putin wants Republicans to win every election.

We almost need to put out a fake post - to capture these morons and block them
Since changing my follow practice I see less and continue to purge the questionable. My growth is slower but I prefer those I am adding each day.
@blueskyy6.bsky.social a nice feature would be to filter those who you follow who don't follow you.
@bsky.app @support.bsky.team
Now I look at each, their bio, posts, etc..
It's not a competition of look at me and my huge following. For me it's quality and diversity to support all my interests. Happy someone else does same
Anyone know if there are any decent block lists?
I wonder what % are directly Russian vs what % are essentially Musk's coming over from X (indirectly R)
Documents in MAL bathroom went through a vetting process to establish their security/classification level.
#FascistFelon47 can declassify them just by thinking about it.
It's a GD scary time ahead.
I’ve noticed some accounts that have no profile, no photos, no posts … but follow all the top Democracy accounts. 1/2 …
Peasant gassing Moms Against Police Brutality Don of Dons Trumpovitch
Rape Dungeon Donald Trump
Breadlines causing DonOld Grump the Great Pervert &
White Russification Supremacist Vladimir Gr88
Even within Maga, the goal from top leaders is to divide their own and pit them against each other. That's how they stay on top.
They do it to Dems as well from the outside. It needs to be a more publicized conversation.
If you have ZERO posts...🚫
Vetting is hard but oh so necessary!
Starting to get porn bots, zero post with 1,000 followers.
I even Counter Trolled them into near submission on Twitter.
I know how to COUNTER ATTACK, you DON'T argue with them.
Dismantle toxic accounts neutrally announcing logical fallacies, their gaslighting crazy-making then:
"To avert suspicions, the users sandwich political remarks between neutral articles on travelling, cooking and pets.[25] They overwhelm comment sections of media to render meaningful dialogue impossible.[39][40]
When you don't have a huge acct and are not particularly interesting, you don't wake up with 500 new followers.

I mean....what!?!? They are an independent news source. Make it make sense
The Kremlin now views the overall US population as morally bankrupt dullards, that can be easily manipulated to do or believe anything no matter how ridiculous or unethical.

There may be more.
Ones I've found have cartoon avatars. Going through their posts always helps.
As always, pls report and block as the algorithm on 🦋Bluesky is truly democratic (open source).
Just sayin'
Yes, I'm an anime fan and that happens to be my current favorite character.
But you could never go wrong with a classic like yours!
i caught someone pulling a scam on #bsky and the next day they were gone. @bsky.app is so much better at handling people not here for the right reasons, e.g. just to troll or scam.
#SlavaUkraini
Mostly tittystreamers and dudes with cum on their chest or dicks out.
Folks who rage ate the drop of a sarcasm. Get blocked.
Keep doing it.
This one is spewing lies about the CA Fires. Yes the trolls are here.
They’ll polish themselves up in a bit to pretend to be Americans with a flag and all that other nonsense
🙏💙🌊👊🇺🇸👏
The lesson to be learned here is that if you want to increase your hatred of innocents index during a national disaster rely on Fox News and their asinine pundits.
