BSKY is full of cam girls. I started getting random follows from people with no posts, and nothing on their profiles except links to the pages where they sell videos of themselves. Went straight to mastadon.

I mean… does every site where communication happens not have that? random scams are just part of the Internet, federated or not 🤷♀️

“I went somewhere open to the public and the public was there!” That’s what you sound like talking about seeing a couple bots in 2025.

You’re not totally wrong. But this isn’t “the public”, it’s just bots. For the same reason I wouldn’t want to get chased around by buskers demanding tips every time I visited the park, I don’t want my feed inundated with CamGirl amounts every time I log on.
The cam girl problem is simultaneously more difficult to solve (because there’s such a low barrier to entry) and an easier one (because you typically have a handful of bad actors churning out the bulk of the spam). But since there’s no profit on policing public spaces, BSKY’s already paper thin budget isn’t earmarking anything to address is.

No one is gonna randomly follow you on Masodon because no one is gonna see your posts.

People are migrating there, but if there’s not a lot of content then the few people that really push out a lot of content because they make money will be very prominent.
