Why do I keep seeing news stories about Bluesky here? It really feels like there some kind of campaign to shill Bluesky on this site.

Does anybody else get this vibe or am I going crazy?

Looks like there was a similar pattern for Mastodon:

Is it really so unexpected that a new platform supposedly gaining traction is tracked with milestones, user experiences, etc on a site such as HN?
