Recently, an interesting phenomenon has been observed: a large number of new accounts that registered in 2025 are already active. These accounts share common characteristics such as zero interaction history, zero followers, and purely automated behavior. This phenomenon is becoming increasingly common in the Web3 community, where some use fake accounts for false interactions and spam marketing. If you notice such suspicious accounts, the best course of action is to block and report them. These fake accounts not only disrupt the community atmosphere but may also be precursors to phishing or scam activities. Stay vigilant, protect yourself and the community, starting with identifying these "zombie accounts."

Why is it always like this, with new scammers every day? Zombie accounts are indeed ridiculously numerous; you can tell at a glance. These days, it's all bots flooding the screens, really annoying. Blocking and reporting, what's the use? They come in waves. What has the Web3 community become...

I've known for a long time, they're all bot accounts, not interesting. There are so many zombie accounts, it's obviously fake. That's why I rarely trust new accounts, I basically block them instantly. There are too many spam accounts, the community has really been ruined. Block, block, block, there's no other way. A bunch of zero-follower accounts come to comment on me, so annoying. New accounts are basically all scammers, ignore them. I learned my lesson after being scammed once, now I report all of them. Who still trusts accounts with zero interaction these days? Bot accounts are so common that I've gotten used to it.

nah tbh the correlation matrix on these bot patterns is actually predictable af... if you run a basic regression analysis on account creation timestamps vs activity spikes, the p-value screams statistical significance. these zombies follow stochastic processes so mechanical it's almost boring

I'll first check out these new accounts. They're really getting more and more rampant. Zombie accounts are everywhere. I instinctively check wallets first. These days, you have to learn how to identify people, or you'll easily get scammed. They just registered and immediately add you? I just block them. Web3 communities should be more disciplined, let's work together to block these spam accounts. New accounts with no interaction history are very suspicious, that's my rule. Start blocking and reporting—don't let these things pollute our territory. Zero followers and zero interactions, yet they dare to jump around. That's really excessive.
