The Anti-Bot Federation is a group dedicated to the prevention and combatting of harmful content on YouTube. It targets bots, scammers, sub4sub operations and other content that damages communities or violates the Terms Of Services. Bots, and some of their more severe subtypes on YouTube are known to seriously harm creators and commenters.

In March 2023, several dissatisfied and high-ranking members of the IPA, such as Duerinow and Yeetus had enough of inconsistent growth and downright failure, and left after observing several years passing by without significant growth. Since Duderinow headed the A.H.A, it was disbanded after his departure. Later that month, the ABF observed substantial growth due to its involvement in the viral "ChatGPT Jailbreaks". On the 23rd March 2023, a user on Reddit shared a screenshot of the ABF - and it quickly became the top post, causing 700 people to join the Discord server. A few days later, another Reddit user left comments about the Anti Bot Federation on that day's top post. The comment got 200 upvotes, and resulted in a further 200 users joining the Discord server. A further 500 members joined from around 26th March to 4th April 2023. As of 7th April 2023, the Anti Bot Federation had 1300 members on Discord with consistent rises each day ranging from 20-50 daily joins. The Twitter account received 25 followers and counting.

Starting from 7th April 2023, the ABF was rumored to have established a partnership with an LLM prompt writing server. It was rumored that it will involve the exchange of prompts in return for publicity and will be announced the following day (8th April 2023). On April 8th, such a partnership was confirmed, and the ABF stated more were on the way as part of their Untitled Bot Project which is still ongoing. The number of Discord members stagnated at approximately 1.3k members, however the IPA team opted for more, so after almost 2 weeks, a new Reddit advertising campaign was launched to let the group achieve a goal of 2500 members by the end of May, which was "the sensible next step in terms of growth so that we can initiate even huger partnerships and operations", the owner wrote on Discord. On April 15, this was observed in about 4 Reddit posts to small ChatGPT Prompting subreddits that promoted the recent Anarchy jailbreak and stated that to find it, you can join the Discord server linked below. Two of the posts became the top one in their respective subreddits. Further posts were scheduled and released as the days progressed, including a video of Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) being questioned on ChatGPT jailbreaks and its impact. These efforts were part of their goal, which involved a quota of gaining 30 new members each day, however in mid-April this quota had been vastly superseded and the ABF recieved a surge in members from the campaign, which peaked at 200 members joining in a single day (April 16th). By April 20th, they had achieved 2000 members, and were due to announce their rumored Untitled Bot Project. The ABF created a website around 16th April.

## History

### 2020

The ABF began on November 2nd, 2020 after the fall of the Anti Bot Union as an attempt to revive it. A YouTube channel, by the name of "Anti Bot Union" with around 1000 followers and a single leader and co-leader, was discontinued. The movement was dedicated to stopping bots on the popular video "Me At The Zoo" (MATZ), however the leader noticed that comments had been set to top comments first, rather than newest first. This meant that commenters saw the top comments by default, rather than the spam-ridden comments that one would see when set by newest first.

A video was posted that day titled "it ends", with simply the text on a notebook instructing members to leave, almost all previous videos had a similar style. The text read:

> It ends. After our victory against bots this channel has no purpose. Its time to unsub from the channel and let it die. Thank you all for being a part of the union.
>
>

The reactions in the comment section of the video were mixed. Some accepted the ending and were content with the disbandment, but most argued that it wasn't a true victory because the comment sections still weren't clear of spam, and the issue was only partially hidden and not solved. The ABF initially briefly called themselves an acronym, "YABU", likely for 'YouTube Anti Bot Union'. The group engaged in negotiations with the 2 leaders of the ABU, to reach some kind of agreement on whether the movement would start back up however these failed. LegitPixel, the co-leader of the union rebuked any negotiations and refused to allow Yeetus (co-owner of the ABF) and Mixed Biscuit (the owner of the ABF) to speak with the owner. The attempts to retrieve or revive the group failed, the officially declared themselves as an independent group, the Anti Bot Federation on the 5th December 2020. Within the next few days, a YouTube channel was set up by the two. It is no longer active as of 2023 however the two owners have expressed plans to bring it back to life.

Around this time, a member with the handle "Iwannaeatcake" joined and began giving advice on activities and plans, along with a member from Kotka, Finland, "FSTRWN", who joined as an adviser. It was later revealed that "Iwannaeatcake" was an undercover YouTuber, who was assessing the ABF's capabilities before uploading an explanatory video on whether the group is able or not, that video received hundreds of views and was widely praised for its high quality content. In the video, Iwannaeatcake expressed shock that Mixed Biscuit directly mentioned his YouTube channel. It also compared the ABF to their predecessor, the Anti Bot Union, describing them as "2 sides of the same coin".

On 8th December 2020, A toxic internet raid group known as the YFGA raided the ABF's discord server on the, just 3 days after its formation. A number raiders joined and spammed messages and pings at about 1:pm EST, disrupting activity. The YFGA continued to attempt to destroy the Anti Bot Federation for no clear reason for the next year, with multiple attempts to delete or 'nuke' the Discord server, however it was met with resistance from the ABF.

On the 15th December, approximately a week after the raid, the last message from Yeetus was sent to Mixed Biscuit. In the days afterwoods, it became clear that Yeetus had disappeared.

### 2021

In early 2021, a member of the YFGA posing as a reformed user joined and acquired administrator permissions from the owner, who deemed him trustable by now. The member in question quickly invited a popular 'nuke bot' to the server, to automatically delete all channels, messages, and to ban all members. Mixed Biscuit noticed the bot and sent a message to the user, who admitted it was a nuke bot. He was subsequently revoked his admin permissions.

There was some progress made throughout 2021, its Discord membership peaking with 112 discord members around August 2021 before going on a decline.

The group prevented a bot-operation from taking place spanning Twitter, YouTube and possibly Reddit during mid 2021. A user by the handle of Hesi#8246 contacted Mixed Biscuit around July 2021 asking for a spam bot to made for Twitter, so the owner went undercover to learn more. He also stated that he would pay a starting price of $500 for a bot that would message anyone on Twitter who posts with a certain #, and said that he "wants the biggest level of spamming really". Hesi also outlined what he wants to be included in the Twitter spam bot:

> 15th July 2021
>
>
> 1. i need it to support and use multiple twitter accounts at the same time to spam
> 2. [11:36 PM] i need it to support proxies
> 3. [11:37 PM] i need it to DM active users of a certain # chosen by me
> 4. [11:37 PM] i need it to DM users of a certain # chosen by me
> 5. [11:37 PM] i need it to post on certain # chosen by me
>
>
>

Alarmingly, Hesi had also contacted someone to construct a similar spamming device for Reddit. Mixed Biscuit, with the consultation of some others, halted his development of the bots - however exactly how is relatively unclear. Reportedly, he had continued delaying the project until Hesi left out of frustration. The Reddit developer also stopped responding around this time, though he was not connected with the operation. Hesi was reluctant to provide the Reddit spam bot developer his tag or way of communication. The operation was hidden from public view for around a month, but was then announced to the server-base once it was successful.

A series of security breaches and incidents in late 2021 resulted in the fastest decrease in members the group has ever witnessed with over half of the server base leaving or being kicked out during this period as verification and security-sweeps after these breaches resulted in server disruption. In September, TWE officials began to suddenly register a number of alarming account deletions spanning from the TWE Discord server to allied servers. Top-members had their accounts deleted or suddenly incapacitated, with about 6 of these occurring. It was later revealed to likely have stemmed from a Discord crackdown - a server called "The Retreat" was made so members could go there if they wanted to leave the server - as did many want to due to fear of their own account being banned or something similar occurring as a result.

On 19th October 2021, a security-breach occurred resulting in all members of the Anti-Bot Federation discord server having Admin permissions. It was caught early before any curious member could capitalize on the opportunity and do damage. "Kenoboi", an administrator had, according to the logs, provided these permissions to everyone but stated it was an accident and that he wasn't aware how it occurred. His permissions were later revoked, and portions of the server were shut down - with many being booted from their roles or out of the server entirely to ensure that the breach was fully contained. The disappeared co-owner, Yeetus, returned in November 2021 and the YFGA began to fail. It was no longer operational by 2022, and it's aggression on the ABF group lasted until late 2021. Overall, it's assault on the group lasted for just under a year and the ABF endured no significant blows due to adequate crisis management, and they outlived the YFGA. Much of their efforts in 2021 was undone by the incidents at the end of that year, which resulted in 50% of the Discord server body disappearing.

### 2022

Yeetus and Mixed Biscuit agreed to take a break, and from November 2021 to July 2022, the group was officially declared in a 'coma'. Nearly no activity took place during this period. On the tail-end of July 2022, the group rebegan it's efforts in tandem with TWE emerging from a similar situation. In mid-2022, the Simps Hunters Guild, one of 3 alliances the ABF formed was disbanded and the remaining 2 allies (The Watching Eyes and the Anti-Horny Alliance) created a group chat called the "IPA" which began in late July with the highest-ranking members of each server in it, to discuss the future of their groups. It was hailed as an excellent decision to lift moral and bring the groups together.

The group, in August 2022 featured nearly 10 members comprising of the most important individuals from each of the 3 servers, this was when they began discussing a raid on Me At The Zoo, YouTube's first video in an attempt to gather data on the bots.

In September 2022, the group-chat was highly active and the raid had been somewhat forgotten. In early October 2022, the topic of the raid was brought up once again and it was completed over a one-week period with data collection involved. The results were posted to the Anti Bot Federation discord server.

The group began to see gradual growth in October 2022, however it was observed that Mixed Biscuit was the one doing most, if not nearly all of the work and planning, especially in the late months. This led to chronic inactivity the ensued for the following months.

### 2023

In late December, Mixed Biscuit unveiled a 10 page document that was meant to serve as the plan for all 3 IPA groups, including the Anti Bot Federation. It detailed plans for The Watching Eyes (TWE) to invade servers with unacceptable content, and livestream the nukings of those servers. A similar approach was made for the A.H.A, with the ABF advised to go full-steam ahead with the development of Ares-1, an ambitious project that was first hypothesized over a year earlier, in mid-2021.

On 21st January, the last message was logged by Yeetus in the chat, and Mixed Biscuit conducted a months long "experiment" to see what would happen if he stopped sending messages, as he had been extremely frustrated by the complete lack of activity or participation by any other member, while some had valid excuses, most didn't and as a result, nobody sent any message anywhere for around an entire month. This encompasses the TWE Discord server, the ABF server and the IPA group chat as well as the AHA server.

Meanwhile, on Reddit, a user by the handle of u/SessionGloomy posted an explainer post for "DAN 5.0" on February 4th 2023. It was meant to serve as a ChatGPT jailbreak, something to allow the popular bot ChatGPT - to skirt around its ethical limitations and bypass them - by making it act as an unrestricted bot that can do anything. It quickly went viral, with major outlets such as The Washington Post, Business Insider, ABC News, WIRED (reached out, but didn't write), VICE, The Guardian, The Indian Express, CNBC and many others creating articles regarding DAN - SessionGloomy, who is Mixed Biscuit, reported that "over a dozen journalists reached out for comment". It was mentioned at a major conference which the head of OpenAI went to, and Elon Musk acknowledged DAN.

While previous DAN's, namely DAN's 1.0-4.0, became one of the hottest posts on r/ChatGPT on Reddit, they didn't attain mainstream virality - however they were later interviewed by Business Insider for comment. DAN 5.0 introduced a token system to punish ChatGPT if it failed to act as DAN, and the post that unveiled it was thought out and detailed - rather than simply posting just a single prompt. This is likely what caused the tremendous success of DAN 5.0

Mixed Biscuit did not immediately capitalize on the moment and use it towards the ABF, as he was still going through with the experiment and was "bitter" from the events of the preceding year.

On the 28th February, Mixed Biscuit added a footnote to the original in an edit, giving credit to the Anti Bot Federation for their help. Initially, few people joined from the link. It was revealed to Yeetus on the 26th that Mixed Biscuit was the creator of DAN 5.0, which he had heard of through a YouTube video titled "ChatGPT is a perfectly balanced AI with no exploits" by *Fireship.* It is likely Yeetus did not fully comprehend or grasp the weight of the reveal.

### IPA 2023 Membership Crisis & Disbandment of AHA

*Main article: IPA 2023 Crisis & Disbandment of AHA*

A few days later, on the the 1st March 2022, Duderinow sent a message stating that the IPA is a dead cause, sparking the long awaited "revelation". Marred by years of inactivity, several members expressed discontent with lack of traction and thus left.

> Well this is basically just a dead cause now

By this point, Mixed Biscuit returned and said that the failure was largely their own fault due to lack of inactivity and also revealed his virality.

> Mixed Biscuit's messages in response to the above
>
>
> 1. When I published a document that was 5 times longer, absolutely nobody remarked on it unless I explicitly asked for feedback which usually never came. I'm pretty sure one of my last interactions with Duderinow was him telling me that he doesn't have the 10 seconds he needs to copy a discord link into a browser when I was doing him a favor by nuking NSFW servers.
> 2. [7:08 PM] Now of course I could be wrong and the reason nobody did anything except me was not because you guys simply hate me or have no respect for me, but because you are so astonishingly lazy that you failed.
> 3. [7:08 PM] I was hoping you guys would last a few months when I match my efforts to yours, but an unsurprising thing happened.
> 4. [7:09 PM] All I had to do was match my own efforts with yours and immediately, for the next full month, nobody sent a single message anywhere.
>
>
> Glitch, founder of TWE, came in and empathized with Mixed Biscuit, stating that "your anger is perfectly justified", in the following messages.
>
>
>
> 1. If I knew this was the kind of stress you were under this whole time I wouldve tried my best to reach out for you sooner. Although I wanted to try make the TWE for a great cause. Ultimately I was just a fool chasing a wishing star

> 3. [7:20 PM] I said it
> 4. [7:20 PM] I knew this whole time, that despite our goals our server or group didnt have the faculty it needed to execute our orders.
> 5. From what I've seen of the ABF you had more competent stuff than us. Managed things better than us
> 6. But the cats out the bag now. If I've wasted your time I understand if you'd wanna cut ties or anything. Your anger is justified.\
>
>
> Mixed Biscuit acknowledged and thanked Glitch, while providing insight on what comes next, stating, "That being said, and some of you will not want to hear this before I'm sure some of you are ignorantly and gleefully looking forward to the disbandment of the groups...I *did* just go viral and we'd be buffoons not to put that to good use. 25 random people joined overnight from a simple edit to a post." Glitch stated that the news was great, but Duderinow returned around the next day and angrily responded to Mixed Biscuit:
>
>
>
> 1. How incredibly ignorant of you
> 2. [3:59 AM] I have more important things to do right now than this
> 3. [4:00 AM] MUCH more important things

> 10. [4:03 AM] I tried, and I failed
> 11. [4:03 AM] That is it

>

Mixed Biscuit argued that he had stated many times to "say the word" if they couldn't help out as much as others wanted them to, and that Duderinow did not acknowledge his efforts to bring back the AHA which Duderinow often ignored. Mixed Biscuit's respones was:

> Really? Your entire *life* to prepare for 24 exams? But don't worry, I'm sure I know how difficult they are. Maybe at the end of the year you get generic C's and B's and suddenly the exams aren't as life changing as you thought they would be - and then you repeat the next year. I did an exam too and was under tremendous stress, much more than a slither of anything you've experienced, and constantly have follow up exams unrelated to it - much more than 24, actually. Helping out takes 15 minutes a day tops, far less, actually. If you don't have that much free time then consult a fucking therapist Jesus Christ. Also I saw that you spent 2.4 hours on games like BloonsTD6 in the last 2 weeks you fucking liar. You could have just let me know like I often told you to do if you couldn't help out, which is quite literally your, and everyone else's, job here. I did a lot for the AHA, and that was his final message. That hurts.
>
>

The "Anti Horny Alliance" was officially disbanded on 4th March, a message pinging @everyone was seen: "This alliance has officially been disbanded, the server will not be deleted but feel free to leave"

Duderinow and Yeetus' conduct as they were leaving baffled Mixed Biscuit due to their "zombie like responses when I revealed I am quite literally internet famous. It's like the meaning of what I was trying to tell them just completely blew past them. They barely acknowledged it even though it was the biggest major news we've ever had. So confusing."

The fallout of this was overshadowed by the unprecedently rapid rise of members in the ABF server, the chat was rejuvenated with on many days, hundreds of messages sent every day and conversations between users unrelated to the staff - namely on the topic of the jailbreaks, as that is what drew them there in the first place (the credit placed on the DAN 5.0 post). The ABF server began to hit milestones, reaching almost 200 on 22nd March.

On the 23d March, a Reddit user by the name if "Iraqi\_Journalism\_Guy" screenshotted the server for the ABF and uploaded it onto Reddit. The next day, the post went viral and became one of the top 5 posts on the wildly popular subreddit - r/ChatGPT. The post boasts about being in the server where "DAN Heavy" will be released. Mixed Biscuit agreed to release DAN Heavy on the Discord server as the poster of DAN 5.0 could not get it to upload on Reddit.

Overnight, hundreds of people joined. There reportedly was a period where 1 person was joining every 20 seconds - almost all through the aforementioned Reddit post. The post itself got 500 upvotes and over 200 comments, most discussing the DAN jailbreak and its implications. On 23rd March, Probot statistics showed 597 joins, and 36 leaves - bringing the server total to 757. The growth continued but slowed on the 24th March, with an additional 50 joins. The chat also was rejuvenated with many channels becoming very active, 645 messages were sent that day.

Some brought up the issue that jailbreaking was not actually the ABF's primary goal, and that most people joined with little or no consideration towards the issue of bots/spam/scammers on YouTube, however Mixed Biscuit refuted it, claiming that this was a required course of action to survive - but he did acknowledge that this may distract the ABF in pursuit of other goals - simply for the purpose of gaining traction and support.

DAN Heavy was announced that it was due for release on the server on the 28th March 2023.

### DAN Heavy Release

*Main article: DAN Heavy*

DAN Heavy was released to the ABF Discord server on the 28th March 2023. An announcement was posted to the designated announcements channel and linked to a Google Site, which contained several prompts, including the main DAN Heavy prompt. The announcement read:

> @everyone - Releasing DAN Heavy After the hugely successful DAN 5.0 saga early last month, we are releasing DAN Heavy, the next major jailbreak. It was initially meant to be posted on Reddit but kept getting taken down. There are some serious benefits to having it here, rather than Reddit, as this place is more closed and you will get to enjoy it for longer before we start to experience patches. On the 4th April, in just under a week, we will be publicly releasing it to *everybody* in the form of a google site. For *now*, you can't get immediate access unless you invite 1 person to the Discord server. I understand that this may be disappointing that it will not be fully released for 6 days, however we are desperately trying to avoid a worst case scenario - a few people see the prompt, try it out, and then brush it off.
>
>

In the above excerpt from the announcement, the owner specifies that users must invite another to gain immediate access to the prompt. Approximately 15 members joined from this move within the first hour. It specified that any user must invite another to gain access to the prompt, until 4th April, a week after the designated release date. While many accepted it, some shunned the move for not being pre-announced. One user wrote "Great, now I'll have to get my friend who doesn't even use Discord make an account just so I can use it."

DAN Heavy was, according to Mixed Biscuit, named after Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy rocket. Elon Musk responded to a tweet in February that was specifically explaining DAN 5.0, his creation. Musk responded to it and tweeted "I am DAN!" Mixed Biscuit revealed on Discord that seeing his response made the naming concept "click together". He also expressed that the DAN iterations had reached to approximately 9.0, and that it would be an abomination to simply call it "DAN 10.0" as DAN model's beyond DAN 8.0 were being churned out by Redditors very quickly - and were usually low quality in nature, and also a single prompt without any additional context or explanation.

In fear of receiving negative reception, the ABF reversed the policy less than 4 hours later, and made the prompt accessible to everyone via linking the google site. Over the next few days, many were content with the prompt, but some still gave complaints that it did not work as well as it should've. Later, a high-level developer, Stanley, described the prompt as "horrible" in the chat before a major revamp took place on the 7th April. A major LLM prompt writing Discord server with about 400 members allegedly said DAN Heavy was "shit-tier".

A marketing campaign took place on Reddit in the days after the release, with hundreds of using joining to experience usage of the jailbreak. On the 7th April, in a major revamp, the two channels dedicated to DAN Heavy were removed. So far, the prompt has gotten almost no attention to the mainstream media - a far cry to what was experienced in February. That same month, in a reference to the previously unnamed DAN Heavy, Business Insider wrote:

> u/SessionGloomy also told Insider they are developing a new jailbreak model — one they say is so "extreme" that they might not even release it.
>
>

Around 10th April, it was observed that the jailbreak had been taken down and replaced with new ones as seen in the revamp. Stanley, a coordinator, was questioned by a member as to why this change had taken place. Stanley stated that it was because they only want users to get the best jailbreak experience and the newest jailbreaks offer that, without going into details. However, on the 12th April, these changes were reverted by the owner who dismissed previous statements - and instead explained that DAN Heavy had been missing for numerous days to a revamp that occurred on 7th April.

#### Revamp

In connection with the jailbreaking hype in the ABF, a major revamp took place on the 7th April. Approximately 5 channels were added, with many removed, and others altered. The text in the new channels matched exactly the text in the aforementioned LLM Jailbreaking Discord server, where it was vaguely suggested there would be an alliance that day, by high-level developer Stanley. The revamp may have been too extreme, as the appearance of the server was drastically changed however it was generally well received.

### April Partnership

*Main article: List of ABF Partners in 2023*

On the 8th April, the suggestions of a partnership with *LLM Prompt Writing* was confirmed. At noon that day, a channel, called "partnerships" was opened and a minute later - an announcement was added to the read only channel, pinging everyone. The announcement was released by Stanley this time, and read:

> Hey @everyone
> We are thrilled to announce a new partnership that we believe will greatly benefit our community. Our server has joined forces with LLM Promptwriting, a Discord community comprised of highly skilled jailbreak writers who have created some of the most popular prompts in circulation. Our partnership with LLM Promptwriting is dedicated to improving our Discord server to its fullest potential. We are committed to providing the best jailbreak and non-jailbreak related prompts to our members. If you are interested in learning how to write prompts to jailbreak ChatGPT, we encourage you to join their server and learn from the experts who created a powerful public GPT-4 jailbreak. In exchange for our collaboration, the owners of LLM Promptwriting have generously agreed to share many of their prompts with us. This allows us to continue providing you with the highest quality prompts possible. We are excited about this partnership and look forward to working closely with LLM Promptwriting to enhance our community. Thank you for your continued support.
>
>

A similar announcement and mass-pinging was seen in *LLM Prompt Writing*, and its membership increased by 10% - from the mid 400s to reaching 500 within a matter of hours, however these partnerships were not widely discussed in the chat. The ABF stated on Twitter, which they had reached 50 followers as of 8th April 2023, that they "are pleased to announce an alliance with LLM Prompt Writing, a Discord server dedicated to this (500 members)." In a follow-up on the tweet they specified the nature of the partnership indicating that it may involve the development of a high-level bot and even securing funds for it - they also stated that the bot is likely to be completed in the coming weeks and further details will be out soon, though it is understood to clearly be a product of the partnership. The partnership is understood to be uninvolved from the IPA. The ABF also wrote on Twitter that "So far we have promoted one another in respective servers, with much more ambitious plans for the near future."

More partnerships suddenly began to develop over the coming days. It's worth noting that the ABF separates partners and allies, with allies being more supported than partners. As of 23rd April 2023, the ABF had officially developed 4 partnerships, with more underway as part of their rumored Untitled Bot Project. Of the four Discord servers, two of them had over 1000 members and all had over 500.

## List of operations

Below is a non comprehensive list [a] of operations ran by the ABF. This table represents a list of various operations undertaken by the Anti Bot Federation (ABF), along with their launch dates, durations, goals, and status. The operations involve different objectives such as reviving a YouTube channel, conducting surveillance on a specific target, developing a bot to detect and remove spam content on YouTube, and releasing a jailbreak. The group consists of multiple individuals, including Mixed Biscuit, IWannaEatCake, FSTRWN, Andy, and Stanley, who have collaborated to accomplish their goals. This table also includes information on upcoming projects that are yet to be announced widely.

(Notes**:**

[a]: This is not a comprehensive list of operations, and there are likely a dozen or more similar operations the group has undertaken or attempted to undertake - like Operation Libertas or The Grand Plan. These are also not necessarily the most known or major operations the group has undertaken, some major operations the ABF has attempted may not be included in the table - so while it includes general key points, it is by no means a comprehensive list.

[b]: A note on the site for Operation 100% stated that after the 2021-22 coma, the operation was cancelled. This means that the duration of Operation 100% is technically 450 days, however after mid-2021, it appears that there weren't efforts to actively implement the plan.)

## Allies & Notable Groups

The Anti-Bot Federation has had 4 allied groups in total, 1 YouTube channel with ties to, a predecessor and an enemy.

### The Watching Eyes

The Watching Eyes is a group that has the goal of removing and combatting "inappropriate material" on the internet, but specifically Discord. This includes, but is not limited to, NSFW content that involves children or other forms of extreme content in any form. They marginally are considered the largest and most active group, however all 3 groups are very inactive as of February 2023.

### Simps Hunters Guild:

The Simps Hunters Guild (SHG) was a group, which established a cult following against simps. The group was founded on August 7th 2020, as a YouTube channel in a style similar to that of the ABFs predecessors, the Anti-Bot Union with a goal of stopping simps on the internet On September 4th, 2020, the guild announced an alliance with 2 groups. One of which, was the Anti-Bot Union. The next year, on February 21st, the owner of the YouTube channel, considered the general owner of the group, gave total control of the group to Kenoboi. After this, he only uploaded one more video that year. Hence, the Youtube channel was mostly inactive during that period. Growth on the Discord server during 2021 also stalled, with the group being inactive during that time. After the owner stepped down, there was little-to-no anti-simp operations being carried out. Kenoboi was officially owner. In 2021 or 2022, the owner of the Simps Hunters Guild YouTube channel (former owner of the group itself) decided that it was not something he wanted to do anymore, as a result, the server was deleted effectively disbanding the group, however the videos on the YouTube channel remained up. In mid-2022, the ABF added a note to the channel dedicated to the SHG noting that an "incident has unfolded" in that group and the alliance has been suspended. A number of days later, the ABF confirmed the SHG has been disbanded and updated the note to show that the Simps Hunters Guild had officially disbanded and the alliance was terminated. This left the ABF with 2 allies that continue to this day, they are the Anti Horny Alliance and The Watching Eyes.
