just how this works!! Click the link in this tweet and it takes you to all the bots amplifying “walkaway” -

The #/WalkAway started about 8 days ago but in the
past 72 hours picked up significant traction.
Personally I don’t use hashtags, they are prone to
abuse & amplifying active measures.
I check the Democracy Dashboard & this Bot Sentinel repository
