    The relevant instances might as well remove non-active accounts that do not participates (e.g. upvotes or downvotes), I guess it would be enough to remove most of them

      Wouldn’t a bot account be more likely to randomly upvote/downvote than a human?

      Reddit always had a large number of lurkers who only had accounts to select which subs they wanted to see…

        Maybe. If the bots have been created by opportunism during the vulnerability, they may still be “dormant” until their owner find something to do with it. So I wouldn’t be surprise they are not doing anything yet.
