Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.
In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.
If non ML instances introduced a feature to hide all comments below -3 by default, the tankies would disappear faster than Khamenei disappears protestors.
I’m all for free speech but if we want Lemmy to achieve widespread usage we need to make the cranks less prominent (same goes for most left-wing spaces)
The suspicious one to me is lemmy.world. Trying to get people to make comments you disagree with makes you look sketchy as well. Not saying you’re a bot, but you do definitely want to make it easier for bots, and to not allow any descent…decent…decadenent? Holy crap, I’ve no idea how to spell that word.
Seems more like a client-side feature to me. Let people hide comments below -3 by default.
