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?

    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.

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

        Yup. But you can always go beehaw and defederate them anyway - as they did with both of your examples.
