    90% of Twitter's activity now is bots

    LOL is Joe Biden a bot? Clinton? Obama? Corey Doctorow? Molly White? Every politician and public figure in existence? Where's your evidence for this?

    [–] SalamenceFury@piefed.social 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    You have multiple search engines at your disposal, my man. Just search for it. Also, almost every single post of those politicians has thousands of bot replies and the pattern is always there every time someone with a high follower count posts.

    Ah ok, thanks for confirming you have no evidence.

    I'm not your nanny. Google it. The actual estimates back in February 2025 were around 70%. Right now it's probably even worse.

    I'm not Googling anything because (I don't use Google and) I already know you're wrong.

    Okay, keep on believing that real normal people are still on twitter. I'm sure you'll have fun with denying reality about how everyone you see in there is either a meganazi or a bot disguising as one with the occasional furry artist who deluded themselves into staying.

    [–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    Ah yes the notorious meganazi bot Joe Biden...

    Look at his replies for 30 seconds and you'll have your answer, bud.
