I will leave the internet and seek alternatives.
"This person wouldn't believe the sky was blue unless you linked a study proving it. The Huyghur genocide. Not recognizing the independence of Taiwan. The entire way their "democracy" functions. The lasting damage the "one child policy" has done to their demographics (by their own reporting, not the wild exaggerations of the West) You don't need to pick between the sides you're being offered today, don't fall for this false choice fallacy. Freedom isn't choosing the correct master to serve. If you disagree, I invite you to go to Tiananmen square wearing a Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and see what happens."

Some of them are pretty funny
Wdym. Do you mean how I found out that the attacker was the admin? Yeah sure, you definitely can automate that.
Private communities are already coming with the next release, v1.0.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5076
Privacy win? RCS itself does not support E2EE. Google developed a proprietary extension for RCS to include their "E2EE".
Matrix. But if you want something that looks and feels exactly like Discord, there is Revolt. It's FOSS.
You should block drag. Drag is a known troll.
Seems like codeberg got significant attention for spammers to come and do this.
You will occassionally see some people from other platforms, like mastodon, commenting or posting here. But Lemmy isn't the most compatible one, so you probably won't see microblogs and such. If you want to see microblogs as well, use mbin (kbin fork). It is a mix of Lemmy and Mastodon. You can micro blog and comment on magazines (communities in the mbin/kbin platform) that way.
I especially am thinking of self hosting mbin because I do want to see some microblogs from some users.
Also I welcome you to Lemmy and the Fediverse. Good thing you didn't choose lemmy.world or lemmy.ml
Lemmy does not have any kind of builtin "safeguards" against bots or scrapers (other than during registration, but I wouldn't call them safeguards). Some instances do use tools to slow them down or block them, such as Cloudflare or self hosted proof of work CAPTCHAs (for example Anubis, the anime girl).
While I can't say that bots are common in Lemmy, I do see a few of them in this comm and ban them every once in a while.
TL;DR: no builtin safeguards in lemmy against scrapers.
only email verification, captcha and manual approval against bots during registration
edit: clarified a few things
