This does not look like human behavior. Again today, my Mastodon account is followed by dozens of new anonymous accounts, and they all follow exactly 40 other accounts.
@renchap I do not want to be reading tea leaves here, but can you understand my concern that this could be a bot net system generating spam profiles in bulk?
Can you think of any technical explanation why I am seeing so many similar accounts following exactly 40 other accounts?
@randahl Sounds like bots. Thanks for letting us know, I'd just block the hell outa em!!
@Magiskeld @randahl Me too. I appreciate the heads up.
