Doesn't solve astroturfing via bots, but at least there isn't centralized manipulation.

It does help with it though

For profit platforms have more of an incentive to keep the bots going, for engagement reasons. Non profit managed ones should want to get rid of such bots?

So far it's helped in motivation, but not in implementation.

Turns out combatting bots is a hard problem and hobbyist admins and nonprofits have a lot less resources than their for-profit counterparts.
