A few Lemmy instances have automod bots that remove content automatically according to baselines set by the admins.

There is no way to know if an instance is running an automod except when it acts.

Sopuli does not use one as far as I know, but Piefed instances like piefed.zip don't either.

Gross. Glad most of Fediverse is still small enough that it's feasible to mod manually with small teams. I'll keep watching piefed development though. .zip sounds interesting if they stay hands off with that kind of stuff

To be fair, if a community is active enough, it makes sense to have an autobot in place, mods can't spend 24/7 monitoring the community.

There are spammers who regularly register and post links to whatever they are advertising.

Probably true. I like to think that's the good use case for downvotes but I know Fediverse is trying to get away from that a little.

I also forget that most instances don't have manually approved registration Come to think of it I don't suppose sopuli did. It would help, spammers are everywhere but they tend to avoid having to exert effort over many repetitions of a grift attempt
