I’ve had 8 bots follow me in the past 48 hours. I suspect they stopped shadow banning bots for a couple of days.

One of my alts has something like 150 followers and I'd wager that all of them are bots.

Every day for the past three weeks I get followed by at least two onlyfans accounts. They mysteriously disappear within 48 hours of following me.

Ohh is this why I started randomly getting followers?

I recently heard that Cloudflare has been having some issues, it's probably that.

... Reddit has followers? I've been on that site for 11 years and legitimately had no idea.

Apparently I have 44 now. I guess they stopped notifying me about them after the 4th bot.

That account seems to be gone

ngl it'll probably work because most redditors already talk like bots, just get it to spit out a few phrases like: "thanks for the gold kind stranger", "this", "+10 social credit score", "i guess he did nazi that coming", "and this is why we can't have nice things", etc, etc

I hate that you are right lmfao

I'll be honest with you chief, I'm not seeing any bots. It's business as usual on all the subs that didn't go dark.
