I just made a new account on BS, I haven’t done anything at all yet, no comments, likes, etc. Immediately followed by a woman with an OF link in her bio. Is that not against the rules? How did she find my account?
You're just that hot 🔥
FWIW you can probably report that. While trying Bluesky, I reported some crappy stuff and I can't remember any that was still up when I checked later.
Just like Mastodon/AP, data is mostly public by default. I assume it doesn't take much to find new accounts to spam. We're usually talking about bots here, not normal user accounts, just to be clear.
It's a bot. It's another DAMN bot. Many used to follow me on Tw###er before I made my account private. Though they were just random names and pictures of women (most of the time not sexual), and their profiles were basically empty. Before I figured it out, it was really weird to experience.
