For the most part they seem to be. There's an instance with like 50k "users" but only 10 active, which tells me the bots are registering but most aren't being used yet.
It is a bit unnerving to have bots to human ratio that high on the network. I hope they will never activated and many compromized servers get cleaned before something bad happens.

What are they up to out there...
Even if they do activate. Can't we just defederate that entire instance. From what I have seen. Most of the bots are on instances with like 10 posts. We should just defederate all of those instances in which the user count is exponentially higher than the user activity.
