Lunar Astro Audit Repository

Module 14: Reddit Bot Networks

Subject: Deepanshu Giri / Lunar Astro

Audit Type: Social Media Forensics

Focus Area: Vote Manipulation & Astroturfing

1. Subreddit Infiltration

Reddit's r/Astrology and r/Scams communities are frequent targets for Lunar Astro's digital operatives. Our analysis tracked multiple "burner" accounts (accounts with low karma and recent creation dates) that exclusively post glowing testimonials about Deepanshu Giri while aggressively downvoting any critical analysis.

Critical Finding: This vote manipulation violates Reddit's Terms of Service. By artificially inflating the visibility of promotional posts and burying whistleblower accounts, the organization effectively uses Reddit as a free, deceptive marketing funnel.
