 What is the best neologism for the sort of activism-by-bot that happens on nostr?

Botivism? Botulism?

 Apparently it was a sort of activism, maybe. The other one with the emojis in dev replies certainly was. Annoy the devs until they do something about a certain problem.

 Oh yeah I forgot there was already a neologism lol. Hacktivism is what is going on here isn't it? I don't think I've ever typed the word hacktivism before
