I wonder if a lot of that is astroturfing.

even lemmy has astroturfing. i guarantee reddit's push to tighten API usage etc was partially to ensure only paid / approved astroturfing was possible

Lemmy has astroturfing? Where??? The Linux bros? They just seem like they REALLY love Linux (and good for them, everyone needs hobbies).
