I still have my reddit account to look up local news. Over my time on reddit I joined several chat groups and over the past week I’ve noticed that people are being mass added to these groups. Even ones that have been dead for years suddenly have people posting and commenting on them. It’s very obvious that this is been done by bots to drive up reddits activity in the wake of the blackout.

    Wasn’t even aware of this feature, hadn’t noticed - I’m also 100% off of that shit hole so I suppose that makes sense
