MODERATORS
It's ironic that this post about addressing potential bot problem is mostly likely written by ChatGPT.
Notice how repetitive the use of "This can help" is?
And that it's properly formatted lol. But serious, the biggest spam I see here are users complaining about bots without evidence that they're a real problem. I believe a lot of them are simply scrapping reddit and posting that content here or are otherwise folks who don't want to see redditors migrating. My take is: Welcome aboard everyone! Make an account and say hey wherever you like to become an active user.
Just because you say it in a positive way, doesn’t make it true. Everyone is glad people are joining, but the reality is 2.5m accounts vs 40k active users is a bit suspicious. If anything, you are the one ignoring the facts and replacing it with your feelings.
This platform has some work to do on security. Lots! And no one is suggesting all of these possible “bot” accounts are active at this moment. It’s weird you’re being so dismissive of an issue people have been talking about on this platform for a while now.
It seems that those of us who look beyond the hype are a minority. Lemmy has potential but also serious problems. Bots are an obvious one, meta and co invading sooner or later is another. Tankies are something that we need to keep talking about and keep an eye on any politically influenced moderating, esp. on lemmy.ml
