      Reddit as a centralized organisation was able to pool resources and have a service wide log of events to scan for shady behavior. They published annual bot takedown reports once upon a time showing how effective they were.

      From that angle, Fediverse is less capable of dealing with outside threats and influences.

      Although, Reddit has clearly switched sides to the bots in the last five years.

        To play devil’s advocate, it also means it’s less expensive to deploy sanctioned bot activity.
