Given how many people echoed that sentiment, it seems like it was pretty effective.

That was being spread on the major platforms as well. And those messages were coming from server admins here too -- are you suggesting db0 is a psyop?

There's no evidence that any action on ActivityPub translates to meaningful results in that election.
