Why are we suddenly being overrun with bot accounts that post nonsense?

Every post lately has been bullshit links from bots. What are we missing? As there’s already zero activity here, it’s pretty frustrating.

I’m not sure, and it’s come with a massive spike in bot traffic overall. I have put some additional protections in place but ultimately we mostly rely on Discourse’s available spam prevention settings. This has happened once or twice before and usually only lasts a couple days. I’m open to suggestions to better keep them out but in the meantime please continue flagging them and I’ll delete and block them.

For what it’s worth, the Discourse is relatively low activity but there is more on the Discord.
