Tumblr end of year review but its just the top 10 of who reported and killed the most spam bots. And everyone also gets to find out their own number.

#nia post #the great bot war #i say this bc i have literally combed through notes on spam posts and likes and followings for hours

Devastated. This would have been a great blog name.

Buggering fuck children I am BEGGING you to get an icon or a blog heading banner or SOMETHING to distinguish yourself from the bots. I almost blocked two new Actual People Followers because I thought y’all were bots until I noticed you had actual reblogs that made sense on your accounts (fortunately they loaded faster than I could click the block-and-report button because I was actively moving to hit it when I saw your posts!) and I already have blocked at least two others before I noticed but you look like bots and if you look like bots then people are going to instinctively block you like bots because we are in the middle of the Great Bot War of 2023 and if you are walking around dressed like the enemy we will block-and-report your asses before we notice you are not bots because YOU ARE DRESSED LIKE BOTS please PLEASE put on some Actual People Garb like an icon or something for fuck’s sake.

My favorite kind of spam comments are the ones that recommend a cancer doctor and then casually mention that he also does witchcraft at the end.

@staff since you’re aware that bots are such an issue, can you make a “report and block” button for mobile? I’m tired of the effort I put into blocking these fools

#q attempts social interaction #the great bot war #so many bots

They’re getting smarter, I just came across an obvious porn bot, but the blog colors had been changed and the blog was titled “I’m here for a meet up”

spambots are evolving to sending spam messages now, huh. at least that means flagging and blocking is only one click now …

Well that's just. Concerning.

Okay, porn bots. I feel like you shouldn't be using terms you don't understand.

*sees this in my notifications* oh please don’t be a bot please don’t be a bot

*checks their blog*

REAL!!! 🥳🥳🥳

#the actually good urls on the recent bots have been so distressing #what a relief to find a good url with an actual account behind it #thank you thegaynarwhalthathauntsyourdreams #quoth nsd #the great bot war #the great bot invasion

[batnbreakfast]

This is the best bot name so far. Still got reported and then blocked, but maybe one day the original disgusting-eclipse (1) will follow me!

#tumblr woes #the great bot war

[wet-paiint]

real, boring explanation: the bots are interacting with each other to avoid spam detection

better explanation: the bots have gained sentience and are falling in love

we should all start keeping our bot kill counts in our bio. innocent civilians from other sites will look at our blogs and think “what is a 97 y/o doing rebloging furry porn on tumblr???”, but us in the trenches will know. it’s actually a war trophy display. a field of heads on spikes if you will
