I don't think Lemmy was really big enough to have THAT many bots. And at least of the ones I saw, if they were bots they're doing an incredibly good job of making them blend, since many had a history of generally normal commenting before that time, and have continued posting normally since.

That's very true. Bots once/twice removed? Like bots influencing the people posting here?

I can't imagine you get to that conclusion alone
