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?

I’m imagining a scenario where the mods of a semi-popular Instance X do a bad job and let a bunch of spam bots join. Other instances block Instance X, but X’s genuine users are the collateral damage. Hopefully moving accounts will be much easier by then…. but then the spammers might move too….
