Yeah most likely from idiots who want to ruin the platform.
Elmo’s goons, I’m sure. Between wrecking the Is Government and bullying federal workers, he has them writing bots to poison Bluesky.
Sounds plausible to me.
Every platform ends up coated in a layer of CSAM filth, so I wouldn't really attribute this to a malicious intent desiring Bluesky to be destroyed as much as people are horrible and gross and the internet is a prime example of why we can't have nice things.
The real test here is if Bluesky is going to do the legal minimum, or actually do something aggressive, proactive, and useful.
The thing is, they can do a lot, but the community can also make block lists, so if users get ahead of the devs, they can take direct action too.
