That’ll only hold true while the platform is not popular, unfortunately

There’s at least less astroturfing and AI posing as real people, if nothing else.

I don’t think the platform will ever be popular. Picking an instance is a big enough barrier to entry to stop most people.

is it astroturing it just a lot of smug young ideologues sitting in their basement blaming capitalism for their lack of happiness?

You don’t find it a bit ironic to be calling out people criticizing capitalism for making people miserable as “smug” while being incredibly smug?

I wonder if there are safe guards to stop a bot army from impacting the discourse, or if it’s just because it’s a less known platform.

I think any federated service is more vulnerable, because there’s no central oversight of e.g. IPs used to create accounts.
Even without any code, you could easily register accounts at the 20 largest instances and upvote yourself. I’m sure some people will have done just that.

there isnt. but no one cares about this place to infect it

Nah i saw some infections earlier today on few politcal posts. It was just blatantly calling ukrainians nazis and 2022 style Russian disinfo, and rt.com news. I got in trouble for reporting it by the admins, and was belittled by the crowd.

I mean the purpose of disinformation is to create disinformed people, so unless they have a very conspicuous activity history, idk why people assume any account posting that stuff is a bot
