Hola all!

Joined lem a week ago. So far I’m really happy that this is a slow community. It’s not hyper-consumer news and I don’t get to see 500 new posts about people punching each other or what trump did like 10 minutes ago.

Just wondering from some of the comments, some people either feel like really drone minded or having a hard time to accept the sun is blue, just because.

Makes me wonder some of them are actually bots. Not saying this as in derogatory way. Compared to Reddit, how is the bot situation on lemmy? How often the data is being scraped off and used to manipulate people here?

Yes, "they" (the Lemmy maintainers and contributors) should eventually do that, but those systems are hard to get right, doubly so on a decentralised network such as this one. For now, it doesn't seem to be a priority (v1.0 is).
