Wtf is up with this subreddit, every top and recent poster is on a 0 to 1 day old account

ive gone through and looked at like 40 different posts, all of them made by accounts made either today or yesterday. only like 1 ive found that wasnt.

is this a new karma farm subreddit that ragebaits people into karma building so the bots can post on other subreddits.

I know. I spend the first part of my day removing them. There is a bot swarm happening. Sorry. I think that after the election it will slow down.

idk if automod would do it but you could try restricting accounts that are brand new, like under 5 days old from posting.

Good idea. I have increased the participation age on Reddit to one year. Anyone adversely affected by this change message me. This is an attempt to stop the fresh account bots.

Russian bot farms working hard to save the Republicans in the midterms so Agent Krasnov can keep bankrupting the U.S.
