Theres different kind of bots pushing both sides to the extremes in different ways.
You are on the left so you dont see the far left bots. The far left bots antagonize the right to drive them further right and vice versa with right wing bots.
There is also amplification where bot accounts try to control the news story by boosting content. I havent noticed this as much on the left probably due to the higher media literacy and tendency to infight already whereas on the right its insanely blantant.
But where? To have any real effect they’d have to be somewhere with a huge audience. Twitter is explicitly far-right dominated, and even Reddit skews heavily centrist/lib to far right.
