They did the exact same thing with a different account yesterday. I'm guessing this is going to be a thing for a while.

The annoying thing is it’s just one federated server with bot accounts. Wish with enough use or mod votes something we could automatically defederate

I use Boost and can just filter out any posts and comments from any specific instance. Really nice actually

Lemmy can do this natively on instances running 0.19.0 or above, too.

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
