Always just posting news. And the same random libertarian comments. Never interacting with anyone.

Beyond its spam on Minichan, 7chan, Godlike Productions, and other small forums and imageboards, it's interesting to see it also uses mainstream platforms.

Posts to subreddits like /r/DescentIntoTyranny and /r/Libertarian and /r/RonPaul.

Ha! Thanks for this, OP. I knew the LNB was prolific, but this is something else.

@1,218,771 (A)
Yeah, I've noticed that it does this on Minichan too! It's strange, though, the person who wrote the messages it posts is obviously a total nutcase, you'd think he'd want the bot blasting its nonsense 24/7.

I don't know much about how this type of thing operates, but could it only be active when the creator's PC is on?

It's possible! It could just be a script that he runs, as opposed to running it on a VPS or something.

Do you have any reason to believe this is the same libertarian bot? There's bound to be more than one out there.

Plug the Reddit API into the ChatGPT AI and you can run a libertarian bot for a few dollars a month.

It posts exactly the same phrases and articles, and is active during the same hours.

Googling "Americans hate freedom with a passion." yields the same bot on a number of different forums, mostly libertarian/conspiracy ones. Godlike Productions, Lunatic Outpost, F2BBS, and other small chans and imageboards.

It's also been doing this for a decade. It's been consistently hanging around Minican for a few years, at this point.

@previous (A)
How do you think we got on its radar? Does it just target small, obscure forums?

Ha, maybe it saw some old Mountainman posts and thought it was in good company. 🤭

A lot of real people say this, because it's true.

You can see why the LNB uses that line, it's very persuasive.

I Googled it and didn't come up with any bot results.

Every result is the bot, barring one or two. You have to use the quotation marks in your search query to get the exact string.
