As technology advances and computers become increasingly capable, the line between human and bot activity on social media platforms like Lemmy is becoming blurred.

What are your thoughts on this matter? How do you think social media platforms, particularly Lemmy, should handle advanced bots in the future?

    The Fediverse has the advantage of being able to control its size. If 10 million people join lemmy tomorrow and most of them go to lemmy.World and then lemmy.World users start causing trouble then that instance gets defederated.

    Other than that we only have human moderation which can be overwhelmed.

      We also have auto moderators. The recent spam wave didn’t occur on my instance at all. But my Matrix notification channel sure did explode with messages of bots being banned.
