Here’s something interesting about suspected bot activity on Twitter. I have my mentions set to require a verified phone number and verified email. This is always been an effective troll filter. But today there are an insane number of zero-follower accounts in my mentions.

A herd of random jerks mobilized onto Twitter is the poor man's botnet

I like when they include references to “NPCs” in their attacks, really just {chef’s kiss}

I would tend to agree. Many rabid D's and R's joined because of
#COVID19. I have been on since 2015, but was passive until recently. Hopefully not because I am rabid. LOL. But, for folks suspicious of, and not in support of#SocialDistanacing, I can tend to appear rabid ;) -
It sounds plausible to me too. I started twitter to follow some political topic, after seeing that many people i was interested in were active mostly on twitter, and was sometimes accused of being a bot because of no followers and default twitter name.

Not going to promote it but there are apps available that allow one user to manipulate as many as 60 twitter accounts
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
