Was on the other site when a commenter pointed out a response that and like 5 or 6 replies to that comment that were all bots. I am finally getting exposed to the concept of dead internet theory. So, how prevalent are bots on a place like lemmy? Are there natural safeguards against bots? I’m not an engineer and probably need a dumbed down explanation. But I did make it to lemmy! So I’ve got that going for me…
Most of the bots you’ll see are rss feed and copypaste posts from reddit. The reddit ones i haven’t seen in awhile though.
I think OP means less bots that are set up to be bots, and more “bot accounts pretending to be human”
Yeah I know. I was just checking the other boxes as well.
