    I guess it’s kind of like the saying bad ice effects both teams. Both reddit and the federation are going to have bots. Competitors aren’t differentiating bot accounts vs user accounts, so why should the federation?

    How many people browsed reddit without an account, but made one for lemmy to show support?
    At least one.

        Musk complained and tried to worm his way out of the Twitter deal by accusing them of padding user accounts with bots. With an upcoming IPO, Reddit may not be interested in culling bots right now - not when some of us have already fleddit.😅

        I do concur though, the fediverse does need to find a way of getting owners doing captcha or something similar by default.
