I'm not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?

The only thing I've personally noticed is we seem to have received another burp of magas recently.
It takes very little effort to keep that shit out of your feed on Bluesky if you don't want to see it, so I usually only see the magas when they crop up in comments on George Takei posts and similar.
I'm a big proponent of the "block early and block often" mindset in the fediverse and bluesky, so I do tend to notice how much time I spend blocking magas, and I hadn't needed to do so for weeks until recently. I figured it was from 4chan imploding.
Wait, why does George takei attract magas?
Or is he just a well known & largely followed person on bluesky?
Its because he's their most prominent gay, non-white opponent. They don't like it when he reminds them he actually experienced American concentration camps before they were moved to El Salvador.
Oh, you mean a decent real human? Yeh, that makes sense they would target him
