    Honestly this is the best bot accusation I've seen in a while. Definitely a monitored bot/troll account, especially given they removed their account immediately after being found out.

    There's no way in hell a normal redditor would've done anything but double down.

      I really hate making bot accusations just cuz it really is so difficult to prove and it makes it so easy to ignore whatever is said (Hexbears get called tankie/Kremlin/CCP bots all the time)

      But I mean, in this case......

      If I were there I would have asked them to draw an ASCII clock or cat

        Agreed. The word gets thrown incredibly quickly at anyone who disagrees with them. But in this case their account was dedicated to anti-Russian talking points, they made comments with absolutely no relevance or even relevant context to anything but a single keyword, and tried to hide their tracks shortly after being found out. It's never 100% certain, but, that one's fairly certain.
