On reddit you see hundreds of dormant accounts that will suddenly become active at the same time and all attack a particular person saying anything contrary to the hive mind. So they will not post or comment for 3-5 years and suddenly will all attack a user at once then the accounts will get deleted. Most of these are programmed with a back date of origin but on nostr I dont think you can do that.

So what im thinking is that someone is planning a troll army. One person can seem like lots of people and try to bend the narrative as they do on reddit.

just a thought

Yep, dormant bots waiting to be activated had been brought up before, but nicely fleshed out theory 👀

It could be any malicious actor, political or just an apolitical troll, prankster etc. Probably no way of tracing their origin or even knowing if/when they do get activated, in this scenario.

I suppose not making in nostr is incredibly low cost/effort, so it could be someone with grander perhaps political motivations, thinking about a 'just in case nostr gets big in the future' presence established here. Perhaps happening in all the other twitter alts too ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
