The bot is 1m old. Just wait until it gets suspended for "multiple, repeated violations of the content policy" (translation: "don't you dare to shoo the botters! Bot = activity!").
- This account exhibits multiple major traits commonly found in karma farming bots. It is extremely likely that u/Yagirlbella_ is a bot made to farm karma, and it is recommended that you downvote their posts to hinder their success.
  That's probably the banworthy part, arguably amounts to "brigading."
  
  At this rate they don't even need it to be banworthy, they simply ban stuff that counters their interests and call it a day.
  
  We're at the point where simply using subs equals brigading to some mods

Interesting

- Would be more impactful if it gave a sample size for the posts. An account that made one repost as its only post is 100% but imo not as convincing as one that made 12 and also has 100%.

It's going to be busy.

I need one for Lemmy if possible
- Do karma farming bots even have any point on lemmy though?
  
  Karma farming? Of course not- the lack of account-wide karma means Lemmy accounts are worthless to sell.
  Now, bots that push propaganda on the other hand...
  
  I'm curious too, the userbase seems too small for anyone to bother
  
  afaik probably no but I still want something similar to this

I tried making something like this for lemmy, kinda cool to see how theirs works.
