Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Yeah, except if you are a member of a troll bot farm. Lemmy allows easy creation of accounts and even networks of it so upvotes mean nothing.

I haven't experienced bot presence on Lemmy nearly as much as other platforms. It feels like Reddit years ago: small, but tight communities.

Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.
