    I’ve had 8 bots follow me in the past 48 hours. I suspect they stopped shadow banning bots for a couple of days.

      … Reddit has followers? I’ve been on that site for 11 years and legitimately had no idea.

        Apparently I have 44 now. I guess they stopped notifying me about them after the 4th bot.

        Old reddit had it also, it was the friends button. Only, it was always only visible to the person who clicked the button and simply highlighted posts by the user you friended. New reddit lets you see how many are following you.

        I recently heard that Cloudflare has been having some issues, it’s probably that.

      Every day for the past three weeks I get followed by at least two onlyfans accounts. They mysteriously disappear within 48 hours of following me.
