      Ive seen those kind of posts all the way back to the reddit Exodus. No idea what their motives are even.

        I think at the moment it’s mainly about causing drama and chaos. I’d say 70% are bots made just because we seem like easy targets, 25% are bots made by people with vested interested in the liked of Reddit and similar trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the fediverse, and 5% are just people making bots for no real reason
