Based on their profiles, one might at first think that these six Bluesky accounts belong to activist groups on a mission to defend democracy, or something of that sort. In reality, they're just reply spammers responding to random posts from liberal accounts with unsolicited AI-generated replies.

screenshots of replies from the six accounts containing error messages or claims to be "AI assistants" etc

The case around oil tankers Eagle-S, which is most certainly responsible for damaging the Estlink-2 undersea cable, is getting even more interesting. It appears that ship was not only involved in sabotage but in espionage, as well.

For Bluesky, Massive User Uptick Brings Growing Pains and Divisive Bots

It’s not just human users who’ve been flocking to Bluesky but also bots, including those designed to create partisan division.

In the two weeks since this thread was posted, the "passionate about" spam network has grown to over 15 thousand accounts, and evolved a bit in other ways. Here's an updated analysis... bsky.app/profile/cons...

Another bot network using AI for at least some of the posts...

Yesterdays thread on the discovery of an AI bot network gained quite some traction. Since then, ppl. found out more about the network. 1/ @badlogic.bsky.social and other's found that the bots are hosted through the same domain, which now has a total of only 19 bots. 10 of which are blocked by Bsky.

And just to quantify the OPs claim that Bluesky is being flooded with German speaking bots. This tiny network hat 19 bots, which posted a total of 182 posts (at least the 10 bots that are still active). That's not quite a flood. Pretty sure as the elections come closer, we'll se more activity tho.

In other bot news, these bots are on their on "Personal Data Server", which is still running. There are a total of 19 accounts on that server. Only 9 of them have been suspended. Curious why @support.bsky.team hasn't defederated with that PDS entirely?

Bsky is being flooded with German speaking AI powered bots. A thread on why this is important, ultimately making all social media is unusable. #deutschland #trolls #AI #election 1/ What happened? All these responses to a @zeit.de post have something in common (spoiler: they are not real):

Likely AI generated responses to a german news article.
