Does Twitter have a "mass report" feature for reporting fake/bot accounts? Creating one off reports is too cumbersome and most users ignore rather than report.
There are obvious challenges to a mass reporting tool, and you can't put the same weight of a report of mass spam as a regular report. But I think if you used two different pipelines, it would be fairly easy for twitter to verify and at least delete all similar accounts (low follower/tweet counts). Much more quickly than relying on the public to individually report each account for spam.
Not that I'm aware of. I sometimes use the free-form comment on the report to list the other accounts in a group, or include a link to a thread describing the network if there are a lot of accounts.

Right, makes sense, but not nearly as scalable as it needs to be.
I was reading through some of your old posts and was kind of shocked how easy it was for you to identify mass bot nets. I guess I assumed Twitter at least of a team using similar methodologies to ban accounts internally.
Anyways, I just found you on twitter and I love your content (because of my special hate for grifter Rebekah Jones). I'm a dev I'm excited to experiment with some of your methods.
Keep on doing what you're doing my man. I'm a big fan!
I'm just exceptionally jaded with Twitter I've deactivated my account. I'm trying to be more active here and discovering valuable newsletters to subscribe to. I'm not saying Substack is a perfect replacement or anything, and I don't expect I'll be posting much on Notes either, but it's a whole lot less noisy here.
