When I used to be on Twitter I figured out that I was constantly being attacked by bots.
When someone launched a personal attack at me or my opinions,
I would simply answer with the phrase:
“OK Row-Bought.”
The Twitter bots weren’t programmed to understand that my words “Row-Bought” actually meant ro-bot. Occasionally, an actual human would get it and say “Hey I’m not a bot”.
However, more often than not, the bot would just send me an unrelated ad-hominem attack from its preprogrammed list of responses.
I would say that at least 30% of the attack responses that I got were from bots.
I think this was also happening on Reddit as I used the same strategy there.
