If you're building a service for Bluesky, share it in the comments, and I'll add it to Grow Bluesky

I've been noticing that a number of troll posters are all following each other into, what appears, to be a ring. If I take a troll and look at who is following them and repeat for a few cycles, I'll get back to the original poster a lot of the time.

I'm wondering if detecting these rings is doable and would allow a more effective block list to be generated from one troll account.

> detecting these rings is doable

You've just done it.

Flag an account negative, chase the loop (spiral?).

To my other point about API to these systems, it's rad because you can build your own accept/reject groups.

Don't even need AI to detect your "out group" - FastText is good enough to filter.

I made an app that sends you notifications when you’ve been added to starter packs and other lists as well as when someone blocks you[1]

This looks amazing, but I can't log in, I have a custom domain attached to a custom PDS and because my domain isn't my PDS, I can't log in. Could you please add support for specifying the "Hosting provider"?

This looks very interesting and I'm checking out the details now.

Btw, the link on the site to your GitHub repo has an extra dash, so it's leading to a 404.

This is a really good one. Just added it!

Not a service but I'm just happy to have a "noise machine" (aka Social Network) that has great API access.

All of these things are so Loud, so API is like the only way to get what I want out of the Game.

I've made a Bluesky's firehose animation Matrix-style [1], I personally find it very hypnotic to look at, maybe it belongs to your "fun" section.

I've been thinking about making a Discord bot like bot on Bluesky recently... Embeds can be messed with, like on discord and posts beginning with "#mention /" ought to be easy enough to detect
