Anyone Else Notice an Uptick in Suspicious Accounts Lately?

It seems that in the months leading up to the election on November 5th, there's been a bunch more bots (or extremely suspicious account) than normal. By suspicious, I of course mean accounts that only have 1 to 5 points of activity, usually being forum posts or comments, and nothing else.
Of course, I rarely used the forums before now, so I don't really have a good frame of reference, but it's certainly something I've started to take notice of.

It could be a coincidence, or they could be malicious tests, or maybe I'm just over-reacting.

Earlier the 2024 election article was getting spammed with porn gifs, multiple posts with each post containing multiple of the same gif.

One of the accounts doing it was a fake Poochyena account, so clearly whoever did it knows the community to some degree.
