What should be done about low post count but swarm account spam? On twitter, I probably blocked 2000 accounts, and no matter what the next day there would be new bot accounts. It made replies unusable. These accounts would only have a few posts, but they make up for it in account volume.

You can’t report these accounts fast enough, and the information space will be dominated by bad actors.

I have no issue with bots as a concept if they are marked as on. What I take issue with is the overwhelming of the feed by bots with an agenda and inaction to stop it.

I don’t think enough is done to combat this.
