    blank profiles, ‘johnny truth’@ multi instances, high follows near zero followers, spam post then delete acct, usual jump bait spam for page views, porn spam. admins(thanks) mostly stay on top of it. botters might figure out how to make a profile but all their tools are geared toward average platform idiots. def above average idiots around here. here on lemmy just look at their profile posts, you’ll know. same post over dozens of communities. report/permaban/mute/block next.
