& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

Exactly, it’s all it takes right? I do genuinely wonder how many people on reddit were just bots, the amount of vitriol was super unbalanced compared to real people like on old forums. Does make ya think…

I mean, anger and hatred does drive engagement, and engagement is what brings in the views and ad revenue, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

I felt at least half of the posts on Reddit were vitriolic, so my guess is approximately half of the accounts were bots/shills and astroturfers
