this isn't about people. this is about a drastic reduction in bots posting. and so we're clear, the disinformation mechanisms are also running botfarms on google hardware, too, just of a different flavor

    Do you have any stats or is this ‘trust me bro’?

    i wanna make sure it's clear that i don't know if this is true. it's just that this is the context under discussion. the differences i have noticed have mostly been on corporate social media. fewer overt fascist takes and more honeypot sex bots is what i've noticed. but this could be for a litany of reasons

    Thanks for clarifying, I’ve seen a lot of people saying that about fediverse comments without any evidence but I could believe there’s a measurable difference on corporate social media just because it’s a lower hanging fruit

    there's some impact on the threadiverse, i'm sure, but i'd wager that the MAIN impact is the impact corporate/fediverse users bring into the threadiverse because that's the point of influence campaigns: to influence what people feel and think away from the campaign targets
