Most of the mastodon.social #botnet we recently confirmed is still intact.

Only the accounts we all reported were banned, while the others are still active.
The #reports specifically mentioned that they are part of a larger botnet, to no effect.
#Mastodon #software seems to be great at automatically detecting obvious botnets, like the first example while struggling with #AI generated, higher-quality profiles.
