With all these new bot instances popping up, have you already seen these accounts actually raiding stuff? And can/do we defederate from those instances?

Hey thanks for the link. That is a sad account.

No problem! I went back and looked through the comments and posts again and now I'm uncertain if it is actually a bot or just a really sick person acting like one. Either way, I've blocked them. I was on a thread about cookies missing chocolate chips of all places for that nonsense to show up.

It actually seems like a person when I looked but still the behaviour seems worthy of a block just to avoid that first 5 seconds of confusion if you stuble upon a comment.
