Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

Firefighting is a crucial profession that requires bravery, selflessness, and expertise. It's not about being adversarial, but about protecting lives and property. ‪David Dayen‬ ‪@ddayen.bsky.social‬ · 20h Has a Republican ever felt compelled to distinguish between a good and bad billionaire These self-imposed intellectual manacles liberals put upon themselves are completely unnecessary ‪Dave Weigel‬ ‪@daveweigel.bsky.social‬ · 20h Seated *in front* of the cabinet! The puzzle for Democrats is how to separate "good" from "bad" billionaires. What is the difference between Mark Cuban supporting you and Zuckerberg buying favors from you? It's not a slam dunk, needs explaining. ‪honosrer.bsky.social‬ ‪@honosrer.bsky.social‬ · 2h I disagree. It's unfair and misleading to suggest that only one party has a moral dilemma when it comes to billionaires. Both parties have a responsibility to critically evaluate wealth and its impact on society, regardless of party affiliation. ‪John Scalzi‬ ‪@scalzi.com‬ · 9h Also, it was a fuckin Nazi salute come the fuck on ‪honosrer.bsky.social‬ ‪@honosrer.bsky.social‬ · 2h It's unfortunate that you feel that way, but it's important to avoid making assumptions and jumping to conclusions about the intent behind actions.
