Bard spotting on Bluesky 24 February 2025

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Someone tipped me off to an account running a targeted harassment operation and in the middle of me gathering data about the extent of it, literally in under two minutes from the first report I'd filed, BlueSky T&S suspended the account

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'd wanted to take screenshots to illustrate textbook inauthentic engagement Q_Q

Stef "inclusion is a human right" Christensen (@wikisteff.bsky.social):

I take screen caps on the QT, then report, then block.

Sometimes Bluesky gets them first.

Was it a juicy one? I could maybe make a script to pull their Skyline before they go-go...

Stef "inclusion is a human right" Christensen (@wikisteff.bsky.social):

(maybe there is a backchannel we could go to for this?)

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If I had ran a labeller and the account had been reported, I think I'd have content of posts cached.

However - someone else will try the same thing again, and I'll catch 'em then

I was just thinking this, Penny.
