Ho Be Gone (Hive Operators, Be Gone) checks your X followers and the accounts that interact with your posts, and automatically blocks scams, impersonators and spam bots. It works like a virus list: every account on its shared known bots list is blocked and reported the moment it touches you. One yes/no question to start; undo any block with "unblock @handle".
