That is a great origin story for a username; what made you decide to stick with it?

There’s nothing wrong with those kind of bots But when you take an instance for example granitestate.social, I think that’s what it’s called, which when I was looking into it had 100,000 inactive accounts sat there doing nothing.
These bots that have been created over the course of maybe a week could be used to spam or brigade instances. Emphasis on COULD, maybe they just sit there. Who knows?
But many instances took to purging idle bot accounts that had been created on their instances and defedrating from instances that had excessive numbers of bots
These idle accounts are hard to detect, so only when they appear in large quantities are they removable.
Just to clear up really I guess, I’m not talking about a Reddit repost bot or twitter scraper, more large amounts of bot spam.

I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I’m not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore
Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed
Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it’s worth noting this fact

I’ve said it before on Lemmy and I’ll say it again, but mindustry. It’s the game that has held my attention for years and years, it never quite gets old.
