    There was an exploit released a few days back that could make thousands extremely fast (unsure of the number).The two top user instances at this point have 50k new users a piece, and 10 users active, lol.

      The relevant instances might as well remove non-active accounts that do not participates (e.g. upvotes or downvotes), I guess it would be enough to remove most of them

        Wouldn’t a bot account be more likely to randomly upvote/downvote than a human?

        Reddit always had a large number of lurkers who only had accounts to select which subs they wanted to see…
