    Lemmy is way more susceptable to bots than Reddit is, we just don’t see it as much because we’re a lot smaller. But if Lemmy grows, it’ll become a major problem for us too.

      Indeed, but then we’ll figure something out. Trust models between users can probably be implemented to spot suspicious bot accounts

          It’s definitely not, but on the other side having to address it means we would’ve reached something like 100k monthly active user, so at least there would be that I guess
