As has been asked every time, how many are bots?

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah there are some irresponsible instance owners out there letting bots register.

[–] Dawn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

yeah, the largest one is k6qw, with 52 thousand users, but only 4 users online atm compared to lemmy.world, 42.8 thousand users, 5.63 thousand online

Honestly, if these instances don't get their act together, I'd vote on my instance to defederate from it.

I'm usually not one calling for defederating, it seems like a liability, though.

The beauty of the fediverse and the power of ownership is being able to take decisions like these.

It's like digital socialism! (Or something)

My thought were the same way about not wanting to call for defederation, but after thinking about it and owning an instance of my own now, I realize that that is the whole point. Instance owners can block entire instances from federating with them. If every instance blocks an instance that is a bad actor then they literally can't federate with anyone and that solves the issue.

I guess it's kind of like the saying bad ice effects both teams. Both reddit and the federation are going to have bots. Competitors aren't differentiating bot accounts vs user accounts, so why should the federation?

How many people browsed reddit without an account, but made one for lemmy to show support?
At least one.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Me either. I am a human person just like all of you!

[–] ki77erb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Welcome fellow human. It is great to be a human is it not?

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

[–] Harpuajim@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hello fellow human. I too identify as homo sapien.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So many of us good people. It is nice.

Exactly what a bot would say
