I think Pixelfed is beating Mastodon at that. The main instance basically had moderation as a late late afterthought and the massive influx of people and lack of moderation has made the main Pixelfed instance kind of horrible, from what I understand. @lori@hackers.town has been discussing it extensively lately.
Also, beyond bots, we have whole ass crpytoscam instances like realbitcoin.cash where suspiciously almost all of the accounts are from that instance, all created their accounts on the same day, and all commented on the same big thread on the same day.
FOSS developers are going to have to start developing roadblocks to this kind of behavior.
