Today, the US government has created accounts for multiple departments in a coordinated effort to manipulate the discourse on Bsky. Most of the engagement these accounts get is from freshly created accounts in the last 24 hours and some MAGA trolls.

Here are lists of the departments. You can use these to easily block or mute all of them. Starve them of the attention that they are seeking

And a list I created with all the people liking their shit, mostly fresh bots and trolls (the script is still WIP if anyone is interested):

    Preemptively blocking coordinated bad-faith actors is the best thing users there can do aside from leaving bsky, especially if bskys own moderators refuse to moderate.

    Edit: I was on the fence about blocking you but your response made it easy. I didnt even need someone’s curated blocklist either :)

      Preemptively blocking coordinated bad-faith actors

      Did you not even read my comment?

      Or are you offering up yourself as an example of someone who can’t handle that themselves and needs to rely on anonymous unvetted social media accounts, recommended to you by a different anonymous unvetted social media account?

      Like, my entire comment was about how you’d have to vet the list yourself because the contents are questionable, and you just fucking replied with:

      It’s like if Trump said I jecting bleach cured covid, I said that was stupid, and you shot some up saying"yeah, but it cures covid". To try and start an argument.

      You don’t fucking understand anything going on here. Which does under ut my original point.

      Some people do fucking need this shit and false blocks are better than someone with your critical thinking rawdogging the Internet.

      especially if bskys own moderators refuse to moderate.

      Go fucking anywhere else on the fediverse.

      Stop fucking making up compromises, if there’s too many Nazis there and Blue sky won’t do anything, fucking leave yourself.

      Just…

      Fuck man…

      I don’t even know what to say that may possibly help you
