Twitter is going to give us full Dead Internet theory. The only real humans left on there see all the bots and can't tell them apart because the people are idiots in the first place.
That being said, Bluesky seems to be 30% bots when I rarely get on it, and maybe I'm just not seeing the daily active users, but my spouse just stopped checking it because nothing punching her cortisol button was happening there.
A large user base of gullible morons is exactly what advertisers want though
So, what you’re telling me is that both sides are right and wrong simultaneously :b
Tbh, Dead Internet Theory applies almost everywhere.
Lemmy might just be far too small for it to work here. (For comparison, measured by activity and monthly active users, Lemmy is smaller than both the Linus Tech Tips form and the Crackberry forum.)
I'm saying they're both somewhat right. Being correct about something subjective isn't 100% black and white.
