That's the punchline that makes me chuckle when I read how "little impact" the protests and migration have had.

Here's a little secret: Reddit mods can't know for sure which accounts are bots. They can suspect, but they're no easy, reliable proof. Reddit admins, though, know exactly which accounts are bots โ€” they just prefer keeping that info to themselves.

For me, that triggers a great big "Hmmmm".
