Title.

I've noticed that the issues above are becoming increasingly notorious across the entirety of the Fediverse. What's being done to mititage those issues?

The Fetaverse is wholly and entirely unprepared for bots. Data scraping is a given. It's completely open to the internet. There's nothing stopping it.

Things like Lemmy are ill prepared to handle bots from the mid-2010s. Never mind bots of yesteryear, and never mind bots of today.
