The community is only 13 days old. Frequently I see post on all from either the mod or new accounts all ranting about bch or related sites and they’re all super excited to tell you about it. I mean look at the pinned post and replies for goodness sake.
All new accounts. All just loving bch so much and super excited to tell you about it. A lot of the posts have strikingly similar formats too. Like bold sub-title paragraph of text and repeat. Reeks of botting/astroturfing. Just me or nah? Im going to post again regarding lemmy being cool with bots auto posting links to off site frequently, but that’s a rant for another day.
Any crypto community on any platform is 99% bots pushing pumps and dumps
That’s my assumption as well but haven’t seen this one get much attention thus far.
“Bots” wasn’t the first thing that came to mind when I considered what the Bitcoin Cash community might be full of, actually.
But, yes. I’d be not even a little surprised if it was full of bots too.
At least part of the problem is just how many bandwagoning NPCs are obsessed with crypto. Their posts sound like bots because most of them have no original thoughts of their own.
