Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit
tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoAm I crazy or did the number of bots and ‘new users’ ramp up quite a bit around the protest also? Moderation was basically not existent, I would see obvious bots and trolls stay around when they would have been banned in no time before. I find it hard to trust any data on Reddit.

If I remember right, there was a spam detector bot or similar which I’m sure was third party and it either went off altogether or the project was suspended after accessing the API was going to come in.
