I'm quite concerned by the huge increase of seemingly bots on some Lemmy instances. Dvmsocial and beehaw defederated from some. What about bin? How to protect ourselves from the bot swarm that's coming?

Edit :
A Lemmy guy created a script that can auto defederate from these unprotected instances. Maybe it is the short term solution :
