I used to think almost none but with the recent stats stating almost 30% of internet postes are bots it has me wondering.

Especially when there have been a number of threads recently thay have been flat out fake news.

I'll go with less than 5%... or just 0%

I just assume every liberal on here is a bot. I refuse to think someone is dumb enough to be a leftist with the amount of information we now have.

We're seeing a lot more libtard Reddit type posts on here lately. I'd say bots are increasing as they mimic leftist talking points verbatim.

Bots or alters? You have a handful of human liberal posters each with two dozen accounts they use to inflate the number of liberal posts.

There’s a difference between bots and shills.

For the purposes of clarity and compliance, I confirm that I am not a bot. This message was composed using natural human cognition and standard biological processes. I am a human individual and not an automated system. This statement is provided voluntarily and without coercion. Bot status remains false at this time.

I dunno but they’re certainly here. I wish we could add a country of origin feature like on twitter.

Some accounts post the same mindless tropes/gaslighting and never say anything new. And they celebrate the fake news threads you’re talking about.

Probably some, but nowhere near the amount on other social media sites. I've seen a few during predictable times (very close to election season) but they are usually called out pretty quick. TD being somewhat centered around a central, specific topic (LSU/SEC football in the south) helps this a lot.

Plus, TD has a lot of insider/joke lingo that makes it very easy to notice an "outsider". Huge benefit to avoiding the bot problem.

Edit: I've noticed that I think some bots can fake the post count and join date here somehow. If that's the case, we should fix that.

IDK about bots but I do notice that the VAST majority of liberal posters here have only a handful of posts in their history. Lots of them are new and a bunch are older but they're posting at a rate of less than 20 per year. That's weird.

Probably not a high percentage, but many posters link information that is clearly bot propaganda
