Leaving the musky fields for where the sky is truly bluer.

What's Bluesky going to do to combat Russian bots and misinformation, and essentially keep it from becoming Twitter/X?

I use both Mastodon and BlueSky and I don't really care for platforms like Twitter. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are good in their own ways but I think BlueSky is user friendly. Easy to setup looks super similar to Twitter, easier to navigate.

Plus, I have heard about it pretty much everywhere. It is commonly compared to Threads. I only know and heard about Mastodon on Lemmy.

I got like 10 follows in three days from actual accounts. I've posted/replied just a few times and my avatar is Richard Simmons. I figured something was up

For a sense of perspective, Twitter has 106 million users in USA. 700 000 is 0.67% of that.
