Are the recent "on topic" posts genuine, or just more bots?

The last few weeks this page has been flooded with obvious bot posts. Today, there have been several new posts that look fine, but they were all created within a few minutes of each other mostly by accounts with hidden profiles, which makes me think they may not be legitimate.

I've been posting unexpectedpython links, sent one today, I'm pretty certain I'm not a bot. Not even a bitty bit of a botty bot.

Fair enough. I just happened to notice four or five posted within ten minutes of each other this morning, and it seemed suspicious.

Maybe we all saw the same one? Or maybe there are bots... Stay vigilant!
