Lemmy has multiplied it's number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts?

...yes.

Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Will have one at some point. For not it seems most of them are created, but don't post anything (yet).

Think what will happen when they start to post and comment. They will probably just get defederated.

Edit: Now that I looked the stats, there's huge spike in posts and comments.

you can't just defederate individuals accounts, these bots have their home on places like shit and world

The moderator can block them?

individualy delete thousands? sure, it could be done, but that's a lot of work and sure to create some false positives.
