Around 95% accounts are bots. Around 90% if we are positive and assume that a lot of redditors joined since the bot farming started.
Thats seems bad. I know some bots are hepful. But 1 million bots seems like they for something nefariously.
Yeah, I hope that people farming them are just trolling the fediverse and don’t plan on using them.
Lol trolling is bad. A bot army could make things miserable here.
Trolling in the sense making people freak out while not doing anything with those bots. That’s what I’m hoping for although it’s improbable.
I was thinking more racist transphobic trolling aided by an amry of lurking upvoting bots…but ya know.
Like trying to keep people on reddit?
I’d go to Facebook first
Or just too generally troll the fediverse.
So what are the Bots doing? Who created them and why? I don’t understand the purpose of bots.

Companies advertising on here through AMA’s should also be prevented because it’s just advertising
They don’t want to change the world. They want to let you know about hot singles in your area
I don’t see what the problem is here…

Yeah, but this can give you popularity and attention that people crave and it will be pretty damn useful in scamming others too.
I’m looking active user all time. It’s 50k person
The platform has 3 years so I was thinking more in terms of real human made accounts.
