Michael (ID: 000000694f1f103c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/31/2023 I love the idea and it does help to identify bots. However, it is not accurate. For example, I've been on twitter since 2014, I rarely disparage individuals, post "fake news" or even curse. But yet, I'm at a 41% rating? The only thing I can figure is that people reporting you for anything can downgrade your rating.

Nobody Important (ID: 000000142a046bdf) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/21/2022 Not very accurate. If an account drops a lot of F bombs, they get labelled disruptive. Meanwhile, malicious bot accounts are labelled as normal. As always, "AI" is a failure.

Etro Abdeen (ID: 00000062fb08f81c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/13/2022 It would be great if it had the option to Only point out bots/fake accounts. Not a fan of the percentage rating as it seems arbitrary, considering other algorithms identified bot behaviour and this app gave them a 0%.
