Someone has already been astroturing subs like r/programming with antiblackout AI generated spam. If they did it before they will do it again if migration starts having a major impact on the userbase.

Here are a few tips for spotting bots:

  • default usernames
  • accounts may be ~100 days old when the start posting at times, but are always completly inactive during this “aging”.
  • Post/comment history unrelated to the topic, if it exists is nearly always generic freekarma4you type posts or reposted memes.
  • In the case of using posts for astroturfing, or meme reposting, bots will often coment on each others posts, this is a good way to find a lot quickly.
  • Comments made are super repetitive, often using the exact same wording. (this might be less common/blatant with newer LLM based bots, but wad the case with the shitcoin astroturfing bots a while back)
