Day 798

I keep getting followed by creepy religious bots. Block and forget about them.

I look at the name first, if it has a long chain of numbers in the handle, there’s a good chance that’s a bot. Then I look at the content in the profile, frequency of posts, language style, proper use of commas, hashtags, and year the account was created. Finally I look at who likes their content and who follows them. Very occasionally, I’ll run a reverse image look-up. Then I decide if I want to block and move on. Mostly I block on sight if I see a long chain of numbers.

Hope that helps.

Four pages to summarize 300, I’m not buying it. BUT the general population will, that’s where we are folks. They voted for him.
