Today, the US government has created accounts for multiple departments in a coordinated effort to manipulate the discourse on Bsky. Most of the engagement these accounts get is from freshly created accounts in the last 24 hours and some MAGA trolls.

Here are lists of the departments. You can use these to easily block or mute all of them. Starve them of the attention that they are seeking

And a list I created with all the people liking their shit, mostly fresh bots and trolls (the script is still WIP if anyone is interested):

Are there actually people on Mastodon besides Linux evangelists?

Like a year ago i made some polls on masto that came out pretty 50/50 but with MS doing MS stuff the total amount of linux users is rising.
But it could be that from the recent BSky drama and other factors more WIN people are joining which could even it out again

i use arch-based btw :p
