Obviously, anyone who disagrees with me must be an astroturfer bot.

It's reddit, I'm sure there are people that have spent the last decade on the site posting cat pics, dodgy stock tips and intimate details of their life being accused of being bots for criticising mods.

But if a bunch of new, dormant or unused accounts start promoting the exact party line of an entity which is known to generate accounts on their service to seed stuff, in a battle they're determined to win, the probability of them all being unconnected individual people popping up to express their support for Reddit's management is pretty near zero...

They (or someone at least) are definitely using bots: https://i.imgur.com/4e9jO7P.jpg
