1. La Percepción de la Escala y la Evidencia del Astroturfing.
Los usuarios de Bluesky reportan una cantidad "gigantesca" y "dolorosamente obvia" de astroturfing, señalando un esfuerzo inauténtico para influir en las opiniones. Aunque algunos lo niegan, la mayoría percibe un aumento alarmante, especialmente de cuentas nuevas o con patrones de lenguaje idénticos, lo que hace que la manipulación sea evidente en una plataforma aún relativamente nueva.
- Theres a gigantic amount of astroturfing going on on bluesky, its incredible. Especially with news posting bots.
- Bluesky, being still fresh, makes the astroturfing painfully obvious.
- The amount of effort being expended on astroturfing and general inauthentic behavior on bluesky right now is astonishing.
- Whenever i see an account like this, i wonder if one of the dumbest people alive genuinely made a bluesky account just to make bad faith arguments in replies, or if im experiencing the least effective astroturfing campaign in human history.
2. Bluesky vs. Twitter/X y Reddit: ¿Un Refugio Temporal?
Bluesky es frecuentemente comparado con Twitter (X) y Reddit. Inicialmente, se le consideró un espacio más seguro y con mejor detección de astroturfing. Sin embargo, muchos temen que, a medida que crece, se vuelva igualmente susceptible a bots, trolls y manipulación, perdiendo su ventaja inicial y atrayendo la misma actividad inauténtica que plaga otras grandes redes sociales.
- Bluesky does not have the same level of astroturfing, bots, and other inauthentic users.
- Bluesky is slightly better, but its still susceptible to the same astroturfing. Its just small enough right now real discussions can take place.
- I worry less about tech giants ruining bluesky and more about inevitable fake accounts, astroturfing, ai and bots. Advertisers love organic discussions, they can easily do effective product recommendations. Lucky not much here yet.
- The movement here seems perfectly lively and about as healthy as can be expected from any social media. This wave of spelling doom about bluesky feels like astroturfing to get people to go back to the nazi sludge pit.
3. Naturaleza Política e Ideológica de las Campañas.
Gran parte del astroturfing detectado tiene motivaciones políticas claras, incluyendo ataques a la izquierda, promoción de figuras específicas (como Gavin Newsom o Blue Maga), y la difusión de teorías conspirativas. Los usuarios advierten que estas campañas buscan dividir a la izquierda o impulsar narrativas específicas, aprovechando el espacio de Bluesky ahora que los liberales han migrado a la plataforma.
- There is a huge astroturfing operation designed to attack the left on all social media but especially on bluesky lately. Like a zillion new accounts attacking palestinians and the uncommitted movement, and they all use exactly the same language.
- I dont know what blue maga is but it sounds like astroturfing bsky.approfilematt.
- Thats how astroturfing works the right now realizes most liberals are on bluesky so have moved focus to astroturfing this space for wedge issues like this one.
- Be aware there are astroturfing accounts trying to divide the left against the liberals, at a time in history when we need to be crystal clear about what were facing as a nation.
