Slight off topic but interesting that the post has similar interaction stats (replies and reposts/quotes) between Twitter and Bluesky except the likes which are 3x higher on the former https://files.catbox.moe/82x7ue.jpeg https://files.catbox.moe/82x7ue.jpeg

Interesting - most Bluesky accounts, especially those related to gaming, are reporting higher engagement stats on Bluesky, at least relatively if not absolutely.

    Well of course, your bot is having a wonderful time interacting with other bots. A whole bunch of resources wasted while making everything worse for real humans.

    Oh, they've made it to bluesky now as well, unfortunately. (Though, if you use a moderation service which flags/hides accounts with AI generated imagery, that's close to 100% effective for catching crypto scam stuff. Apparently, your average crypto scammer just can't resist a bit of AI-generated banner.)

Luckily with Bluesky you can link to a post and everyone can see the replies.

  For now! The bluesky URL contains "itch.io" (their handle), and under atproto, DNS name resolution is actually an integral part of handle resolution. It will start 404ing if/when relevant caches expire. This one uses the "DID", not the handle, and will not 404: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:oy37ivqnriw6nx3lrbcht2u3/post/3lcu6h465bs2n https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:oy37ivqnriw6nx3lrbcht2u3/po...

    I think GP comment meant that when you link to a Twitter thread, logged-out users will only see the single post without any replies. On Bluesky, you can see the whole thread.

      Right, and I meant that in the near future you may see no thread at all on bluesky, depending on when the relevant caches expire.

I don’t think it’s that surprising; Bluesky is quite big amongst the audience who cares about this sort of thing, and the author isn’t a bluetick so will have visibility relatively suppressed on Twitter.

BlueSky seems to be far less like-oriented. They aren't just a good metric of engagement there. People read and move on. If it might be helpful to others, they will repost, and that's it. Besides, with 26K followers on BlueSky vs 173K on Twitter, I'd say the engagement on the former is significantly higher any way.

I heard about this incident from a link shared from Bluesky first, which is significant because most of my social circle tends to use twitter
