> Twitter can't spam hate posts in real time? They're literally an AI company.

I would expect they have a certain capacity and the flow of posts is very, very, very great.

Also, I would imagine a delay of some sort anyway - people would notice if a post immediately received hundred of one line generic "I hate this" replies. In this case, the hate posts began after 12 hours.

> is it really surprising that a generic "I support Zelensky" post would get poor engagement?

I may be wrong, but as I understand it, what you've described here is not what was described by the author.

As I understand it : one guy, two accounts, both long term, one BSky, one Twitter, same content. Approx same and large number of followers. On BSky, the test post has immediate, large-scale and positive response. On Twitter, this and this only post suppressed for IIRC 12 hours, then a massive number of hate-bot posts and then post made visible.
