What handles do the bots use on FR?
With 95% of the effort devoted to the accounts of Speedy and RevMom
There are about a half-dozen die hards. Others are Re-Animators, whose posting history shows they have returned to tFR after being idol for years.

Wish we could get rid of the paid shills on FR obsessively posting pro-Ukraine stories.

They found these automated bot accounts increased ‘the use of words in the angst category which contains words related to fear and worry, such as “shame”, “terrorist”, “threat”, “panic”.’
Well planned manipulative psyops, likely funded hy the CIA or Pentagon (who are now legally authorized to do so, with a big busget).
Even with Musk taking over, there are a lot of Bots on Twitter.
They are pretty close to finding them here on FR as well. LOL
