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

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
Every time I open reddit to look into a piece of discussion for a technical issue that isn’t mentioned anywhere else on the internet, I’m completely assaulted by ads, and that hasn’t anything to do with bots, so I’m gonna go ahead and say “nah”

I wonder if Reddit is actually tolerable at the moment
