There are bots here that do that, usually on the weekends for some reason. I couldn't tell if it was one of the people that run super popular instances trying to get people to engage or a place like Emerdata Limited (formerly Cambridge Analytica) or something like that.

Edit: that video you shared is amazing. That's why when you respond to trolls or people who seem too angry, stop at one response (2 at the most), to clarify, and then move on.

Oh wow that's interesting, I haven't noticed any myself. I did uncheck bot accounts on the Voyageur app and I don't know how much that does
