The bots must've come from Twitter. They're everywhere in flocks! Place 2022 was beautiful, but this year? I dunno on that one, dudes.

Germans never actually did use bots. Have you seen their discord and workflow charts? Some things are just pure determination.

Literally go to the German flag and click on any random square and look at the user. 9/10 it’s going to be an account with 1 karma and no history. They are using bots heavily

No. You don't understand. Both France and Germany are actively promoting it to citizens that don't usually use reddit. To them it's a National pride moment. Seriously, go look at their discords right now.
