I wonder if I have discovered a huge #Mastodonsocial bot net.
Look at the profile description, most of the (the similar looking) followers, names, posts (#AI made images), the accounts engaging with those & join date.
They seem to advertise the same 2 websites.
Examples:
https://mastodon.social/@thomasleah
https://mastodon.social/@thomasking
https://mastodon.social/@johnnysands
...
@Mastodon @Gargron @staff

Only those 3 because people reported them, the rest of the #botnet has not been disabled 🤷

Decided to write another post about this topic, as the #botnet is still active. It includes more examples :)

I like that the same picture is in their testimonials and their 'about' page..
Good catch, this is honestly a great example for a digital literacy class on how to identify a sophisticated botnet
MadeInDex reshared this.

Nice research! They already operated 4 years ago 🤯
After reading that review by Zeta67: We need to hope nobody here downloaded it 👍
