    How much did human usage drop? Because there are a shitload more bots on twitter nowadays than there were in the years before he took over.

      I suspect even more than 30%, and by a lot. Nearly all of the communities that once thrived seem to be dead. It feels very empty.

        Ah, ok, 27% -> 19%, an 8% YoY drop, and the numbers were obtained using identical methodologies across multiple years. Yeah, I agree, seems to check out.

        Still, there are definitely a shitload more bots than there were before.

      Any time something gets too big it gets bots. Lemmy will be the same. We will see instances getting defederated who cannot manage the spam.
