Does anyone know what's up with the 8 digit user names? Pretty reliably they seem like trolls - not so much to put forth a particular view, but rather to sow confusion. Is it a co-ordinated action? Who is the source? How reliably is it known?

@gasca - is this right? -
This is one of the ways we provide default usernames to new users... it’s a common source of confusion... doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the case here but it’s likely... cc

I created an account for a bot I’m working on recently and it didn’t even give me a shot to choose my own username - it just gave me Fred82726111 or whatever. You could probably reproduce right now if you felt like going through a new user onboarding.
