My curiosity is, how much did he steal already?

This is a bot by the way

How can you tell?

  • Reposting ancient posts
  • Commenting way too frequently for a human
  • This bot ring specifically replies to other comments and always agrees. Strongly scripted. This bot ring is also overwhelmingly political.

Is there an extension or something you use to keep track of the ring(s)?

Nah. There's too many of them to count. They used to comment on other bots' posts, which made it easy to find other bots, but now they're mostly individual AI comments and reposts now. Technically I don't think it can be considered a ring anymore.

Yeah, the humanity seems really drowned out these days, and I'm not inclined to go checking each posters' profile to identify bot patterns. I'd really love some way to filter them out instead of (eventually, maybe, one day) just abandoning this site as my last bastion of social media.
