Come on these conversations HAVE to be bots right?
How do all of these people seem to know details about the fediverse without seeming to grasp basic parts of it and how it may contrast with reddit?
I mean sure there are tons of bots here, there are tons of people with suspect intentions… but like MORE SO here than corporate social media? MORE SO??? HOW? WHY? Why would people with actually serious amounts of resources waste their time here?
Thankfully most of the people in that thread have reasonable takes on why it is necessary.
I wasn’t familiar with how piefed handles it, I think that is a good method. The user can start setting up their profile, but posts are limited.
