Was on the other site when a commenter pointed out a response that and like 5 or 6 replies to that comment that were all bots. I am finally getting exposed to the concept of dead internet theory. So, how prevalent are bots on a place like lemmy? Are there natural safeguards against bots? I’m not an engineer and probably need a dumbed down explanation. But I did make it to lemmy! So I’ve got that going for me…

        I mean, I don’t even use Linux, I’m not sure that’s possible. No no no, I shall continue to migrate until I find the Goldilocks instance.

            That was a joke.

            Most people on Lemmy with the technical knowledge and hardware to host their own instance would also almost certainly be Linux users.
