The Baby Bot is a bot who on April 28th of 2023[1] started mass replying to threads with a heavily compressed image of a baby Gapejak, the filename of which was randomised. It started out posting "first", "second", "third" or "baby" as the caption, and soon incorporated special characters to evade post filters, but eventually had to post without caption as this was even harder to detect. It also uses a slightly different image and ip address every single time in order to bypass image-based hashbans.[2] The flood of automated baby soyjak posts led not only to this 'jak's rise in popularity, but also concerns over mass removal of VPN nodes as they got banned after usage for baby spam.
Strict auto-bans
As a baby-bot prevention measure, sharty added a filter for the word "second", which auto-bans anybody who dares utter the word right after a thread is made[3].
Shapes
On April 30th, the bot seemed to be defeated, but a moment later came back in full force with images of randomly coloured rectangles of various sizes and strings of random text.
The """""end""""" of Baby bot
After days of spam from the bot, more of Cloudflare's protections were enabled, which worked to stop the spam. The site was also DDoSed shortly beforehand.
Motives
The motives behind the enabling of the baby bot are unknown. Some believed it was because of the owner disliking kuz, but the bot continues to post under DOLL. Others believe it is to get people to post at Jakparty.soy instead.
There is also a thought that a Discord is behind it.
Other Instances of Baby bot
On May 4th, the bot returned (possibly circumventing CloudFlare's protections), reverting back to the image of the baby and posting random words accompanying it, and after another lenghty period of silence, it showed up on May 12th to make more posts, now replying to a smaller amout of threads as another measure for avoiding getting filtered. It was fully able to bypass all of CloudFlare's protections and reCaptcha.
The baby bot was also proven to be the one behind the bot attacks on soyjak.earth.
On May 16, 2023, the Baby Bot returned and now dotspams on threads.
On May 22, 2023, after a flart thread was moved to /qa/, the botter started using his bot to flood /soy/.
On June 9, 2023 The Baby Bot has attacked LainChan (the jannies locked the whole site for a while) and two other altchans, catty wiping them.[4].
On July 21, 2023, amidst the blackening, the shape bot returned and started flooding /qa/. Baby Bot also flooded /soy/ during Euro hours.[2]
On July 23, 2023, The Baby Bot wiped the catalog on /qa/. This was done so quickly that even the zelliggers weren't able to bump their threads in time.
On July 25, 2023 Baby Bot came back replying every thread with picture of baby and random words. Due to its prolonged presence, teens have started asking Babybot to describe things like groups, people, sites, etc) An example of these post would be “Baby bot describe trannies”.
At one point, the bot started linking to the /caca/ board. It no longer does this.
It has also started attaching images with a white background and little babyjak images splattered all over.
Nowadays it posts a little baby in the top left corner of a white image.
