    random followers that could be bots on xbox?


    I actually have asked a somewhat similar question to this before 4 months ago whereby I asked how come random people are adding me on xbox, and a moderator replied to me and told me that it could be due to I appeared in a streamer's game, but then I dont remember being in a streamer's game, nor a streamer has invited me to his lobby before. This then leads me to suspect that some of the random people that added me as their friend could be bot accounts instead, as I have never seen them before in any of the Minecraft bedrock servers I play

    So is it possible some of the random people who followed me on xbox could be bot accounts instead? I have a strong feeling that there's a high chance of some of the followers under my xbox account could be bot accounts

    :)

    It's possible. It could also be people finding you through people they have on friend's lists or something like that.

    The bots I've seen fall into 2 categories: -

    1. They follow you and then message you, usually with links to dodgy sites. I haven't had a message from a bot in forever, so maybe MS have found a way of stamping these out (for now).

    2. They follow you and that's it. The bot creator is hoping that you will follow them back, so eventually they can build up an account with a ton of followers, presumably to sell it.

    There's no way to be 100% certain that an account is a bot, but usually a bot will have close to zero achievements/game activity. They will often also have a high follower count, but be following few people.

    It could be real people following you of course. They might have encountered you in game, used the "recently played with" list, or looked at the "recommended friends" list, cos friends of friends appear in that list.

    If you're sure that a follower is a bot, you can always block them, which removes them as your follower and also blocks them from following you again, sending you messages etc.

    btw since its possible that some of the xbox accounts that followed me on xbox could be bots, how do I actually whether or not is a xbox account is actually a bot account

    Moreover, why must they follow me on xbox though, because there are literally thousands of other xbox accounts that they can follow instead, like some of the xbox accounts have like a high gamerscore whereby the random xbox accounts could follow them instead

    Hi Dakota!

    We cannot really control who's going to follow us or how many people are going to follow our accounts. You shouldn't worry about that as long as you didn't do it yourself. This issue is not new and it's been happening since then. For sure the Enforcement team is aware of this issue already and won't just easily ban or suspend our accounts without any evidence or proof that we did it.

    As long as we follow the Xbox Community Standards here https://www.xbox.com/legal/community-standards then we're safe.
