Hola all!
Joined lem a week ago. So far I’m really happy that this is a slow community. It’s not hyper-consumer news and I don’t get to see 500 new posts about people punching each other or what trump did like 10 minutes ago.
Just wondering from some of the comments, some people either feel like really drone minded or having a hard time to accept the sun is blue, just because.
Makes me wonder some of them are actually bots. Not saying this as in derogatory way. Compared to Reddit, how is the bot situation on lemmy? How often the data is being scraped off and used to manipulate people here?
I saw a lazy spam bot that posted the same “Look at my snap, USERNAME” with a stolen pic of a scantily clad woman, that posted on a load of communities (none of which made sense to post on, like one on LinuxGaming)
But I’ve never seen any type of bots more sophisticated than just basic-ass spambots on Lemmy and Piefed.
And the basic-ass spambots posts last for at most 1hr before getting nuked by the mods
