    No, all bad online behavior now is “bots.”

    At least that’s how people in the comments on lemmy and Reddit label them.

    I, and others, have distinguish between shills and bots.

    Usually people use shilling as an alternative to astroturfing by paid human beings, while bots are just AI/programming posting.
