    I haven’t looked at the other DT but I have noticed a lot of similar-looking auto-generated alt type names making absolute garbage posts over there. A lot more than usual.

      It’s getting ridiculous. The app has been forcing subs on my home-feed for a while. Crazy UFO conspiracy shit. Had to go through and mute a bunch of stuff. It’s a fucking bother.

        I swear, when I occasionally visit over there, nine out of ten posts are bots/spam, especially on smaller subs that don’t have high karma restrictions for posting. I am also getting bonkers recommendations, and most of my homepage is just ads for crap.

                Her Instagram is wild. Years ago there was a podcast called “Britney’s Gram” that would basically gossip about what’s on her Instagram… my guilty pleasure.

                I think they were in the front line of the “Free Britney” movement and when Britney was getting out of her conservatorship they stopped recording.

                But now I’m really curious about what the takes are and I want the podcast to come back… 🤣
