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
...

What a horrific scenario!

Most people seem to be unable to tell if they are talking to a #bot or a person.

This problem will only increase in the near future. 🤖
