> Bots are even more insidious than before
Not sure if that's actually caused by the recent changes as opposed to confirmation bias or merely the renewed attention that Twitter recently got.
I wouldn't comment on their moderation being better or worse since the acquisition considering they were already at zero as they couldn't even regex-out very obvious crypto scam tweets in reply to high-profile accounts.

Me too, though that has nothing to do with the acquisition and was just as bad as before - something to do with justifying having dozens/hundreds of frontend engineers so they shipped a monster weighing megabytes to display ~300 characters of text.
- scrollaway 4y agoTwitter shedded a lot of its real users due to the takeover itself and the decisions that ensued. It’s simple maths that there would be more bots now.
