    I have the impression that there was some impact, but that it was less general and much shorter than when the Russian ira was temporarily shut down around the 2018 midterms. Maybe the effect was bigger + longer on sites with more account security like Facebook, but i don’t use any, so I wouldn’t know.

        Reddit attempting to ban bots makes little difference. This is what I was referring to: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-approved-operation-disabled-russian-troll-farm-during-2018-midterms-n976381
