It's fascinating to monitor the migratory paths of bots as they adopt new calls, new plumage, and seek new safe havens to nest in.

Bots are of course attracted to electric vehicles as they provide free, abundant power sources

Not all bots come from Russia! Some make their homes in places like Brasil, known for its broad range of complex biomes; a natural habitat for bots.

Bots are naturally attuned to radio signals, so it's no surprise they find comfort in radio-based French nesting grounds.

Have YOU seen a flock of bots in the wild? Your Fediverse service provider is probably interested - let them know!
Last season we tracked 1,804 bots, and unlike endangered species, they are proliferating, always finding new grounds to start building their nests.
If you are an avid Bot Watcher, you can track last season's migratory patterns here:
@jorijn most of them share MX records, you can set those domains to be forbidden or flagged at account creation.
You could also set up a simple script to forward the IP, email (webhook account.created) to a reputation API, many have free tiers, and have it send you a DM or a chat message to check the account.
I use IPQS, I auto-freeze any account with a high score, and send medium-high scores to the moderator chat room for review.

@jaz ah thanks. I have a n8n pipeline which checks various heuristics, and limits/suspends based on a score. It works pretty well, with near-zero false-positives (<2%).
What are the MX records, if you want to share?
