Twitter has even more bots and grifters. Even if this place is still somewhat upstream of culture it's much smaller amd that means it requires a different set of tactics. Twitter has broader reach and also the benefit of both figures of authority to influence and also the fact being able to cast a much wider net helps the artifciality of the net being something intentionally constructed and set in specific places be much easier to remain hidden in the sea of endless noise. Despite everything people here are sometimes still trying to have a conversation, plus having just a 200 threads at any given time available to shill and astroturf does make lowneffort, ill planned, or more extreme attempts to shift narrative all at once a more obvious. Pattern recognition is much much much easier in a set of 200 than one of 200 million. It doesn't mean we're immune to propaganda, just that we require a different less obvious set of tactics sometimes. Pic related, people who didn't understand how this differed and fucked it up bad.
