Yeah. Rumor is that it's a bot. Most of the comments that it makes on other people's posts seem to be off topic and are just cut/paste rants.

That I noticed.
It's funny that people interact with it.
I wonder, have /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr considered looking at the traffic patterns of dcjogger's IP address? Maybe this "jogging" through SaidIt traffic is masking their archiving of the site?

We know it's a bot but some of it is decent. Someone could petition to ban them.
They can archive away for all I care.
