Yesterday I tested a few Bluesky tools, I thought I would share the experience in a thread. 1. CleanFollow Connect (with an App password) - it finds for you accounts you follow that are no longer valid (account deleted or deactivated). No fuss, did what's on the tin. cleanfollow-bsky.pages.dev

For context, Meet2Match numbers: 11,300 meetings from 2,500 participants. That's an average of 2.26 meetings per participant. And I trust their definition of a meeting more than gamescom's. They didn't seem to have to be approved on both sides.
