Is this to be Lemmy's future? I tend to believe there's no practical way to distinguish between real users and bots.
It's nice at the moment because it's new, but it seems ripe for the astroturfing. The bots are on the way.
The fact that lemmy is open source will ensure that sooner or later someone will develop a solution to the problem if it gets too bad.
The motivation of the lemmy developers is actually to develop a good platform. Unlike reddit where the only and sole motivation is money, that makes a huge difference.
