Breitbart ^ | 01/20/2025 | Lucas Nolan

Bluesky, the social media platform that became a leftist echo chamber after the election of Donald Trump, is grappling with an influx of bots and impersonation accounts as Trump takes office.

Inc. reports that as Bluesky continues to gain traction among leftists seeking an alternative to platforms like X and Threads, the company is grappling with a growing bot problem. The influx of spam accounts and impersonators is a byproduct of the platform’s success, but it’s leaving many users frustrated and concerned about the future of their social media experience.

I turned on channel 2 by accident. Gayle King I was saying, I wonder what Biden is thinking and feeling on the helicopter right now. I said to myself take your bias and shove it up your butt lady. She sounded sad.

I hope that people on Trump’s staff manage media access. Openly Leftwing partisan news outlets should be frozen out. No access. People at CNN can watch European news stories if they want to find out what’s happening in Washington.

King is one of the liberal “media’s” token negroes that allow the turd rolling DemonRATS to attack white American day in and day out without it being obvious that it’s the honky RATS who are actually saying it. They are the teleprompters for their plantation minorities. RATs have enough trouble trying to get white Americans to vote for them so they disguise their hatred by sending it out through their plantation bullhorn voters.

I keep making accounts over there to post, love their responses. I made a new account, posted a photo and within 1 second I had a follower. Their numbers are fake and there is a reason why lefties said they were leaving X but very seldom actually do.

The bot contacted one of George’s sources, attempting to continue a conversation that never took place.

That's disturbing. AI is reaching out to have conversations while impersonating people.

There’s plenty of libs still on X. My “for you” section is overrun with liberal nonsense.

A science-related group that I should be in is on bluesky, so I am shut out of it.

I may therefore reluctantly have to join bluesky, but we shall see about that.

Well, three of them are real. Kimmi with a circle over the "I's". Kimi, with the heart over the last "I". And Kimi with no circles over the "I's" but with the last name Kumi.
