FanDumb

[Matthew Plummer-Fernández 🗿 @M_PF]

way back in 2010, Nathan Fanaro created an obscure bot called @FanDumb which detected prolific bot accounts that tweeted at celebrities, sometimes up to 300 tweets per day. Such projects shine light on the scale of botnet activity on this broken platform, we need more of them. https://t.co/X9Ny23xUzt
