    I ran a subreddit for my discord server that we would sometimes post pictures to and find new members and after we stopped using reddit about 7 months later bots started reposting my own pictures and random bot accounts were reposting old comments. It was really weird for my ~2000 people sub that was under the radar and never reall popular.

      Bots building post history in an abandoned looking sub. Usually done to get access to some other sub.

      With the right looking post history you can scam your way onto a surprising large number of moderation teams.
