    You can be all three at the same time!

    Jokes apart, how would you prevent trolls and shills from trolling and shilling?

    We already have a problem where real accounts get stolen because they have a history so it’s harder to be flagged as bots. And one person can open multiple accounts in multiple networks. Hell, Facebook forces people to have phone numbers and there’s still so many bots and shills there.

    I don’t want this to sound like a straw man, I think there’s so many ways for bots to happen that it’s like playing wack a mole.
