Been watching over the recent surge in fediverse users for about a week now. Last week, it was climbing what i would call naturally, organically. Now for the last couple days, its been like 350k in the last 2 days.

Love to see the growth of users, but these have to be bot created accounts. I dont want this to be bot infested community. I see the value in bots when used correctly, but lets be real - general population and bots could ruin this community.

Is there anything planned? Is there work from some third party to throw off the “stableness” of Lemmy / fediverse?

    What are the bot accounts being used for? I haven’t noticed any posts made by bots (unless you guys are all ChatGPT and I’m the only human here)

        I doubt there’s any actual bots engaging with content on a significant level. People are just paranoid. Beep Boop.
