      So far it looks like most of the bots are just signing up - not posting anything.

        There was an exploit released a few days back that could make thousands extremely fast (unsure of the number).The two top user instances at this point have 50k new users a piece, and 10 users active, lol.

            Wouldn’t a bot account be more likely to randomly upvote/downvote than a human?

            Reddit always had a large number of lurkers who only had accounts to select which subs they wanted to see…

        I also suspect they’re all bots.

        I joined when users were 10k and I didn’t see any increase in engagement including comments and upvotes.

      Reddit’s mostly bots too, and the rest are scroll zombies. We just need to hope that people who generate content and discussion show up too; just a few thousand would be enough to get the ball rolling.
