Right now there is high bot activity on Reddit, but the high amount of users make it tolerable to some extent.

But one thing that I don't see anyone talk about is what happens when bots to humans ratio become so high(>70%)? Like what if you checked Reddit only to see reposts and propaganda?

Following news websites does not have interactivity and more importantly, sharing events as it happens is something that is rare to get outside Reddit aed TikTok If I am being very honest.

I even stopped seeing more new memes outside meta platforms.

Is there is a forum/app for citzen journalism? Any crowdsourced tech tips forum exist?

The fediverse is no better. Well it is, but only because most of the bots haven't discovered it yet. If/when the fediverse takes off the bots will be right there.

I think you’ll find most instance owners unwilling to pay for bot armies to swarm their instances.

fair. Though that seems like it will shutdown the fediverse. Either because you can only connect if you personally know someone to get you an account (that is chain of trust - because we have proven to validate our users we will federate), or because their are no instances.

We’ve made it a decade, I think you’ll find us more resilient than you expect.
