Luckily, the direct propagation algorithm is completely immune to this attack. The only thing the bots can do is increase your reach, if someone happens to follow one of them. Your role in the web of trust is entirely under your control, based on people you follow. Transposition and co-citation are vulnerable to sybil attack though, and should be used in tandem with other methods for asessing trust.

Thank you, hodlbod. That makes sense.
