We believe one role of the politician in the USA today is also to have people glued to their devices as much as possible, to extract the most value out of the person for free and other reasons.
Fedi instances generally are not engineered to do that, with the exception of #Mastodon, and its "#ExploreTab" and its new focus on Boost and #LikeCounts that botFarms are designed to game.

If not, why?

The #ExploreTab is indeed one of the most toxic #MastodonRegressions that #MastodonDevs have introduced. Also forced javascript. We can see the bots are pumping the #turderatti with instant "#fame".
Interestingly, ninety percent of people complaining about #techLayoffs at the #dotCons were in that joining-window also.

Seriously, fediverse went from noone caring what it says about the #ProxyWar six months ago to a few ex-#twitterBots boosting it.

We were trying to work out what this has to do with #Mastodon. Then we realised the service is likely being inundated by a #botFarm, and Mastodon encourages #botFarms now with the #ExploreTab.
:p
We think someone is trying to offer a 'friendly' service they should probably be on an I2P instance anyway?
