I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

I've loved that part of reddit and still do to a point. The thing that's been creeping into the platform is the problem with bots and astroturfing.

My favourite part was AMAs by scientists and authors or even ppl like Gov Schwarzenegger. I hope fediverse develops to that point one day.

I remember when AMAs were organic and people actually answered questions. Before prepared questions and answers became a thing.

I loved seeing those IAMAs too. Schwarzenegger, Obama, NASA scientists and Woody Harrelson (can we talk about Rampart?)! Unfortunately I think the web is worse now, far too much focus on monetization, bots, propaganda> and astroturfing.

I'm hoping that Lemmy flies under the radar in the sweet spot of enough subscribers but not too many.

The only bot issue I heard of is following people, which one would only get notified if they use new reddit or official app. What were the other bot problems? What's to stop the bots on this site?
