       Has anyone else noticed an influx of weird/spammy accounts with a username pattern of Adjective Name 1234 (with varying separators) on #Reddit in the last year?This post by @slash@cdrom.tokyo just reminded me of them, and I'm curious if anyone knows anything more about them.RE: https://cdrom.tokyo/objects/1a42fa85-6d11-4687-bf4b-87b5cb54cf0c

       @steffo @slash I haven't checked this myself. But my thought was that #reddit implemented some sort of automatic username generator in the signup process? I'm not sure because I haven't made a new account in years but I HAVE seen both bot accounts and actual real accounts use this naming convention a few times.

       @steffo @slash I remember accounts with the structure WordWord1234 being always offered on sign-up. People (including me) were using them for throwaway accounts for ages. But versions with dashes and underscores are new to me, too...
