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?

Because its a rapidly trending story about technology; twitter is a very popular platform and likely a substantial portion of the HN crowd is on it in some fashion. Same reason all the Musk-related changes to Twitter have appeared on HN really. New social networks picking up (real) traction is an extremely rare event and will always draw a series of stories in their wake.
