This is a really good thread on why these types of accounts exist and what the goal is! Manipulating the temperature of the conversation and setting people on edge serves a *lot* of purposes. #BadActorBingo
So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.

The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

So this AI nonsense showed up in my discovery feed.

A thread on how to avoid AI-generated slop and mislabeled/misattributed/unattributed images and find real space images and astronomy content on Bluesky. 🔭
