    Honestly, while I’m happily settled here in the “threadiverse” and all that, I’ve seen that the main subs I used to visit and have now reopened, are all working about the same as before the protests. They were all basically niches, so they weren’t as badly affected by bot comments and the such. We will see, however, if their moderation can still keep up after the 1st tho.

      That’s exactly it, I think. Outlook: Doubtful

      I feel like I’m seeing way less posts moving through Hot. I’ll have articles from 13+ hours among my feed, where that used to not happen. A 6-7 hour gap would fully refresh the feed just about, whereas now if might be closer to 2/3s new.

      Won’t have much to compare to now, account wipe starts tonight.
