Noticed a few very strange micro.blog sites clearly written by AI and pitching something (I can’t work out what) featured in Discover.

@manton Few more strange ones
karakoramventure.micro.blog
drsabinecharles.micro.blog
livejournal.micro.blog
greenerynest.micro.blog
stastsherly.micro.blog
All in discover
@gregmorris I’ve finished clearing these. I think they’re all spam and most shouldn’t have been allowed to post.
@manton Here’s another one in there: keerthana01.micro.blog/2026/09/0…
Is Discover no longer a human-curated feed?
@jarrod It is, ultimately our fault if these accidentally get included. We’re also starting to experiment with tools to help, and there are holes in those too. I found that blog earlier and we give spammers 5 days to respond before deleting their blog, so there’s a lag too I need to think about.
