I used to watch in amazement at some of the guys who set up bots, to report the bots to us.

not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

So say we have an open WiFi guest network at work that’s got the general nanny filter on for “bad things in the UK workplace”.
But say I brought and plugged in an old phone and started an i2p instance even thou it’s going to be heavily firewalled, you reckon it would still help out?
Also, no need to mutter about i2p and I think with this current climate it’s a sensible thing to start help out with
Yeah like you I was an avid reporter to r/BotBust which when its owner went off the rails one of the team members then setup BotDefense, and I got recruited to resolve the reports from peeps like yourself and our little counterpart bot that flagged them at a fair old rate.
I ain’t seen nothing like BD over here on Lemmy and some of the bot accounts here are at least listed as such but I have seen numerous ones that aren’t “self labelled”. It’d take a fair amount of effort but if you’ve got enough people to review reports (especially the ones from humans) I can’t see why not as it’s basically looking for common markers / traits / flags.
