So I joined Bluesky over a year ago and have only ever posted a single message "Hi". I've also not liked or commented on any posts. Somehow (especially recently) I am getting followed more and more. I have over a hundred followers now. I'm guessing bots? It's the sudden recent surge over the last couple of months that's interesting.

You know, they need to make it appear alive and that there are interactions and users so the value raises and people are engaged.

It's how you make money as a company. For everyone else, mastodon.

Everyone else what? Everyone else that enjoys smooching of free labor? Lol I like Mastodon but this is just a stupid reason to use it.
