Sadly, this person is not one bot. There's been this whole thing about it, they're one person operating a large number of automated accounts that they refuse to mark as bots.
On a certain level, I'm probably just being petty that they're hogging the feed and interaction from other people. But I'd like to pretend it's actively making user interactions more superficial and attention-driven.
Huh, I wonder if it's the same person behind mustachius that keeps posting on history memes, it's the same MO
This one showed up at the exact same time as all the other Moustachious accounts. He seems to want to put one repost bot per community.
The one called "Sanitation" has been around much longer so I won't personally point the finger there but others have.
