There were automatic responses that tech entities would
push off onto the forum. Weaponized means they targeted
individuals and tried to cause them trouble.

Bots...

Software robots...

You can program your bots to attack Trump on every tweet he makes.

Actually need to log in to see data, got rid of the bots..

They how many thousands if not hundreds of thousands of bots scraping twitter and other sites to get data for analysis etc.

So I would expect if they have instituted this their traffic would drop significantly as all that traffic will now go away.

A lot of the traffic was bots, I doubt the dropoff is real. And Threads will wither.

All the nonsense lately with twitter has caused them to loose views. Non members have left twitter behind.

I remember when liberals blamed everything they didn’t like on “russian bots.”

The second biggest owner of Twitter is the jihadist Saudi royal family, which has been proven in court to have planted employees at Twitter to spy on users.

Musk is a trojan horse for Saudis and Chicoms.

Might also be a price of Elon throttling bot accounts that just scrape data… he quality of traffic is still there and fewer bots is less strain on the servers.

such as Meta’s Threads

Which, from an above thread, is rife with human trafficking threads. Anybody see a definite correlation?

If Musk wants to increase the traffic to his forum, he needs to increase the traffic of children. /s

I only use my real name (Bubba Leroy) on Free Republic. I have used my office interweb domain name as my username on pretty much everything else since around 2001.
