Is this Lemmy thread full of bots/ Fake comments?

As you can see (I think) it was a single person spamming replies and got banned or something. The post appears to have 76 comments now

The account was already banned 10 days ago, if you look at https://lemmy.world/u/NoMoreTrds@toast.ooo you'll see it's gone with no content remaining.

Looking at the account on toast.ooo, https://toast.ooo/u/NoMoreTrds, it seems that the home instance ban may not have removed all content, that's something @grant@toast.ooo should be able to fix by banning the user again with content removal selected.

Additionally, the bans/removals don't seem to have properly federated to reddthat.com as seen on https://reddthat.com/u/NoMoreTrds@toast.ooo. This should either get fixed once the user gets properly banned from toast.ooo or can be fixed by a ban from reddthat.com e.g. by @ticoombs@reddthat.com, @example@reddthat.com or @Nankeru@reddthat.com.

I'm guessing someone's bot glitched. A quick scroll down the thread and I saw this removed comment with 2,380 replies under it.

When I expanded the replies, there was a single reply that itself had been replied to thousands of times and virtually all those replies were from the same user, NoMoreTrds.

That does seem like it has to be a bot glitch doesn't it? I have to admit that I did chuckle briefly at the realization that user a9cx34udP4ZZ0 must have had a major WTF moment when they opened Lemmy at some point and saw that they had over 2,000 messages in their inbox.
