I get lots of NSFW-followers, who then turn out to have been banned / deleted.

I've got like 20 nsfw follower whats weird is when I try to block them the app errors every time so I can't block them
They're all bots. Look at the names. They likely all follow the same weird pattern of nonsensical words.
As I know, that is auto generated username by Reddit. But you are probably right about they are bots.
I have no idea how you even find that out. I've been using old.reddit/RiF always and I'm clueless about all those features.
I don't even have "online status" enabled, so I don't have follows, but saw someone who have it, and it was mostly girls to promote their onlyfans page or something like it.
And my account have 12 years
My account is 5 yo too and I’m getting folowers only for 5 days. That is why im suspected.
I had all that disabled, so I have no idea if anyone was ever following me. And I deleted my rif app on the 11th haven't been on Reddit since, so I will never know.
I wouldn't know, because I have not once opened new reddit, old.reddit doesn't show followers, and I am banned anyway so haven't visited the site in weeks.
It's an open secret that reddit tacitly allows bots that generate engagement on the site, so most all the followers are probably just random bots, either reddit-run or no.
Yes, all from brand-new, zero-karma accounts with what appear to be auto-generated usernames.
