I’ve started to realize that every social media platform, including Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, etc., has issues with bot spam and fake follower accounts. These platforms typically combat this problem by implementing various measures such as ban waves, behavior detection, and more.
What strategies/tools did Lemmy employ to address bots, and what additional measures could further improve these efforts?
I think the right strategy is providing all the tools, and then the instances themselves have to stay attractive. That’s not on the developers, that’s on the instances themselves.
