    Thats seems bad. I know some bots are hepful. But 1 million bots seems like they for something nefariously.

          Trolling in the sense making people freak out while not doing anything with those bots. That’s what I’m hoping for although it’s improbable.

            I was thinking more racist transphobic trolling aided by an amry of lurking upvoting bots…but ya know.

      If it’s anything like Reddit’s bots, they’ll probably post copy-pasted comments to gain upvotes, then they’ll start spamming advertisements and scams once they have a good amount.

        I’m just afraid that these bots are bascially here to sabotage lemmy.

        The fediverse is so awesome, there is no way big social media corps can play nice in the long term.
