The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.

On the left: Rick and Morty after going through detox with the caption "Fediverse users who are here because they want to be here". On the right are the toxic leftovers of the other RIck and Morty with the caption "Fediverse users who are here becuse they've been banned everywhere else"

If Reddit ever disclosed how many "users" were bots, I'm quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?
