Are there any bots that make shitty comments or something like that? And is there anything lemmy would do against bots? I don’t like dead internet theory and hope this place is free

Lemmy does have value, because the demographics are a bit more focussed here compared to much larger but more mainstream platforms, not to mention that larger platforms like reddit are already so bot-infested, they start to interfere with each other. It’s so trivial to make and deploy bots now with LLMs, I’d be very surprised if there weren’t bots here.
I think the reason we don’t notice them as much here is the quality of moderation tends to be higher (on average, so far).
Im not sure we dont notice them. How do we know what upvotes certain posts to the front page? Is it really organic? Maybe, maybe not… :)
Actually I was thinking about this the other day. All the meme posts, are they created by humans or Ai?
There are tons of them with different jokes and messages and agendas. I certainly dont think its all people sitting and creating those…
