Got one of those weird replies that appears in the reply count but you can't see it. Was able to uncover it using atproto.at. It's from this weird bot profile. It replies with "fact checks" and links to articles that have nothing to do with anything being discussed. Way to "stop the slop", I guess?

I went through its replies tab just to see and bizarrely most of the time the link is just to the homepage of, say, BBC or Al Jazeera or NPR, not even to a specific article. The few times it does link to a specific article, it's completely unrelated to the claim or counterclaim.
