    Are there volunteer fact checkers then or is it mostly just a free for all?

      I think it depends on the community/topic, but I find that people are generally posting and commenting in good faith and provide sources up front or of asked to.

        Are there any preparations for dealing with the bots, ads, trolls, etc. when they eventually migrate over? The word budget comes to mind. Is Lemmy open source and not for profit?

            It’s not like reddit, this is a free platform designed to stay free and open. I might not be the person to ask, but if there’s no money then there’s less incentive to bot.
