Bot Sentinel

★★★★★ If a tweet argues against democracy, environmental responsibility, corporate and Wall Street regulations, racial equality, etc., Bot Sentinel helps to identify if they're also a Bot. Take a screenshot of Bot Sentinel's report, add it to your Twitter reply, and call them out for the warped Putin-shills they are. Include in your reply advice to other readers to use their twitter tools to "Report" the account to Twitter and "Block" the account from replying to you, 'cuz you don't need nastiness.

★★★★★ I can't be expected to know the posting history and like/retweet/follow connections between every account on my timeline. That's why I enjoy Bot Sentinel's ratings. One star deducted because I prefer using the actual Twitter app. Many 1-star reviews have appeared recently, complaining about wild changes in their user Bot Score. As the newsletter reminds, "Each time we improve how Bot Sentinel classifies accounts, there is a spike in scores for the first few weeks. It has been this way since the beginning, and it's not a bug. If your score increased, wait a week or two and reanalyze your account. Bot Sentinel is learning, and scores are not permanent." It seems some users jumped the gun without reading up.

★★☆☆☆ For the past year, I have loved using Bot Sentinel to check for bots. It all changed when the creator became verified with a blue check on Twitter, my average ranking of 20% suddenly changed to 69% overnight. Then I noticed a few people on Twitter I used to interact with had blocked me almost simultaneously. Bot Sentinel used to be a great tool to weed out the bots and fake accounts, but now it is used as a tool by its creator to mass target those who do not align with his political beliefs and block them. His biased app is also a tool for Centrists to blacklist and mass block those who are real, actual, live people who lean to the Left or the Right. Many marginalized accounts, including mine as a person with disabilities, have been listed as "disruptive" and "problematic." The Bot Sentinel app is silencing all of our voices. He is also helping US government officials and staff block their constituents which violates the First Amendment. It is not okay for Trump to block people when he was the POtuS, and it took a court judge to order him to unblock everyone on social media. If it is not okay for a POTUS to block someone, it is also not okay for any other politician or government worker regardless of party affiliation to block their constituents for asking hard questions or demanding better from our government. With all that said, this is why the Bot Sentinel gets zero stars, but Google does not allow it, so I will make do with one star.
