I remember a subreddit made specially for this, but can't remember the name, does anyone know?
If this is posted in the wrong place, I apologize in advanced. I checked the rules and seems like it should be ok.
Can anyone recommend a bot that can be used to overwrite my past comments? I've done a bit of research and there are quite a few options, so wanted to ask the community opinion. I'm looking for one with the fullest suite of features, but specifically:
I'm really just looking for opinions on the best maintained and featured bot of this type, as there are many it seems.
Thanks!
Hi folks, Is there a bot that can be called to run a post or comment through one of the AI detectors and report the results?
So I have been apart of a subreddit for a while now and recently the community has noticed a huge uptick in bots reposting memes (usual Reddit stuff) and has quickly dealt with the problem. It has gotten to the point that I have trained myself to view a profile before awarding karma (which is kinda F'd up).
But now I am beginning to notice again the same quality of moldy reposted memes coming back on the sub, this time however they are from accounts that are over a year old with little to no prior activity on their accounts maybe a few comments usually generic stuff maybe a few other posts (if anything).
The comments is usually whats a dead give away as I can understand people being lurkers and not participating much, but to never comment on an account that is over a year old? Then out of the blue you start posting molding memes? If it was just once I would say yea they probably forgot about the account and are coming back to it, but I am beginning to notice a trend.
Seeing as how there is a subreddit for everything including this topic, I was wondering if anyone else has been seeing this on other subs? Is this even a thing botters do (probably as it provides some *legitimacy* to your account)? I just don't want to report an account that is an actual person and have then banned for just trying to participate (but sadly a large group of people are eroding this trust).
It looks like an old real account that got hijacked. There was some link to AI text generation but I didn't click it.

There has been yet another surge of bots on askreddit. Each were created on September 3, 2022. This one started commenting a few days ago, which means that they didn't comment nor post for 1 year and 10 days.
Keep track of this, this exact amount of time seems to be the most important in determining when a bot starts commenting, or they might start commenting immediately.
