Spammers and other nefarious actors.

There's a lot of trust built into federation.

    To be fair, I encounter way more spammers and bots on corporate social media.

    It’s hard to sell to communists, anarchists, and tech hoarders

    Reddit used to be the most toxic site to advertisers on the web.

    I had a friend who took out ads that were akin to “just testing” with even selling spots to company and he got hate mail.

    Later I worked for a company and a manager asked about astroturfing on Reddit many many years ago. We convinced them not to with numerous examples of companies getting eviscerated for it.

    Nowadays Reddit is a cesspit. It’s just reaction memes on engagement bait (Petahh what is this obvious porn screencap?!?!) and threads with 12 joke comments. The news I e already read a week ago from a primary source, and it’s been watered down into complete misinformation. Then there’s the obvious hate propaganda political subs.
