Has anyone noticed how many more Trump/MAGA/Russian trolls there are on Bluesky lately? I blocked and muted at least 15 of them in the last couple of days. Check every single new follower you get. If they have this "no posts yet" flower emblem, it's a troll. Block AND mute them.

How to tell if a bluesky post is a troll

Yes, i got one deleted this week, had some time to kill and trolled them back a bit, they of course didn't care and every threat was recorded. Bluesky deleted their account. It was kind of easy.

I have a rule. No bio, no posts, no clear indication of “friend or foe”, more “following” than “followers”, I block. This is no time for nonsense.

Yes! They're disguised and they're so stupid that you can tell their MAGA trolls... No posts or weird profile pics and names 🙄

Why mute if they are blocked?

Oh, I have noticed, for sure!!! There are bots that look for certain phrases and statements. Then pounce on that thread! And live bodies too boot!
