Update
They have stopped ing, there is a chance that team amino did a promotion on a Russian media platform, hence why so many people ed that day. There is also a chance that it’s still bots, as we speculated previously.
Nonetheless, they are no longer ing

Hello everyone, as of the past hour, we’ve had a heavy increase of s. They are most likely bots, but so far have appeared harmless.
What this means for some s is that they will be gaining several followers. Do not panic, you are fine, and you will not be banned for suspicious behaviour.
We will immediately update you as things change.
TL;DR: many new bot s, not harmful, you are safe and just may be getting many new followers!

Nah the bots are hackers farming coins from ads, i think ta fixed the api today so should be fine now
And i think it's actually arabics not russians
ohhhhhhhhhh
These were def bots
A lot of them share the same name, and its not simple names either. Hard for me to believe suddenly like 5 people with the name "Izanagi :white_flower: " ed on the same day
Not to mention none of them even have 1 rep, so they are literally jusy made to , automatically follow like 50 people, and then just dont do anything
Either way glad it's over, I can get notif again from my chats without my phone trying to kill itself
Also, while its harder to find, you will eventually see a lot of them sharing the exact pfp. So I imagine whoever made this just took a bunch of random names and pfps from other s, maybe from AA, maybe not, then mixed them all around or smtn. Idk coding
After looking at the activity of the community, there was no increase either. So yea, bots :sob:
