> Is running a piece of software with such a set of instructions a crime? Should it even be?

It isn't but it should be. Fun exercise for the reader, what ideology frames the world this way and why does it do so? Hint, this ideology long predates grievance based political tactics.

I’d assume the user running this bot would be responsible for any crimes it was used to commit. I’m not sure how the responsibility would be attributed if it is running on some hosted machine, though.

I wonder if users like this will ruin it for the rest of the self-hosting crowd.
