Once Lemmy is huge, won't it have the same problems as Reddit? (sh.itjust.works)

For example:

  • bots everywhere
  • astroturfing
  • repost bots being sold to spread propaganda
  • etc.

This is my worry for the Web. Lemmy seems even more open than Reddit was (less bot prevention). Maybe Lemmy will get beefier protection as time goes on?

Yep it's a huge issue, and the inverse case where instance Y's admins take a bung from some product manufacturer or agenda lobby and overnight the content moderation policy changes. There's no point getting comfy with your account right now until user migration is lightweight, frictionless and doable after a ban, to reduce the cost to a user of a changing relationship with the admins of an instance.
