Toolmakers! (Those suspicious reposts are people who bought reposts; that's very common in Brazilian social media.)
As Bluesky approaches 30 million users, people who run spam-for-hire operations are taking note. Here's a look at a network of fake Bluesky accounts associated with a spam operation that provides fake followers for multiple platforms.

Most of these types of services fall into the "toolmakers" category of my classification system (see bsky.app/profile/raha... for a refresher on the classification system) and it's *brutally* hard to detect and remove them, because toolmakers look indistinguishable from authentic use --
Then, there's a "toolmakers" category totally off to the side and not on the matrix, of people who are building the systems, accounts, networks, etc, that will eventually enable one of these efforts, not doing the efforts themselves. Sometimes users won't ever notice it, sometimes they will.

🪨From the toolmakers tool kit: a well used fine grained yellow sandstone sharpener 45x29mm, dating to the Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. Used to sharpen stone and/or metal arrowheads.

This is that “deprofessionalization” shit front and center. Devaluing developer labor so everyone around the studio can profit in some way.
Rage-bait content creators, Outsourcers, localization companies, toolmakers, publishers, platforms, investors—they all have a lot to gain!

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?
It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

You can guarantee that all the right-wing media are doing everything they can to find any dirt whatsoever on Zack Polanski and so far all they've managed to come up with is hypno tits and he's left wing.

I do not blame child victim advocacy groups (who intimately know the existing structural barriers to getting child victims out of their abuser's field of influence) for worrying some law enforcement agencies will take the easier option of going after CG-CSAM toolmakers and ignore actual victims!
