Five bots, because blocking one would be too easy...

Still not as bad as the baseball instance bots tho from back in the day.

But seriously, why do so many people make multiple bots? Why not just do it all from one so that the people who don't like automated posting can easily get rid of it?

You can easily block the whole stats.fedidb.com domain to block all the bots, they all use the same domain. Also we don't use any hashtags, because pollution by bots is annoying, and I am thinking of making these follower only posts.

It's an entire instance just for bots?

Thanks, yeah I'll just block the whole thing.

Edit:

Apparently not
