Some of this will be due to new features in the latest version but I think most of it is because previously PieFed was not accurately keeping track of user activity. Now that it is, the numbers are bigger.

I've been seeing a lot of new usernames but tbh I was writing them off as potential bots from the Tankie side trying to push election year propaganda.

I dont think people care enough about piefed for that sort of thing.

Yeah the whole threadiverse is the size of one medium-sized Facebook group.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

And yet Hexbear exists and it is overflowing with actual bot accounts. There is no debate, here, there is an active payed and militant psyops campaign aiming to radicalize users on the Fediverse.

You'd be wrong. ML is literally a training ground for information warfare. Nobody is seeking influence on the fediverse yet, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have value as a training ground for teaching people how to curate influence on larger platforms like reddit and Facebook.

Piefed Liberals in a constant state of paranoia about people seeing through their psyop

What's the ratio of difficulty to number of people there?

Right, they're not bots just zealots who got banned from everywhere else.
