Lemmy was already swarmed with bots during the election cycle. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have known. Hundreds of 'can't vote for harris because of palestine' bots rose up, convinced people voting for her was just as evil as being an actual nazi, and then as soon as election was over, the accounts all disappeared. I was only following like 13 of them, but all 13 vanished overnight.

Lemmy is absolutely popular enough (and easy enough to automate) that it's being astroturfed.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen here, but i feel the extents is hugely different compared to reddit. Trump subreddits and /r/conservative are constant trash and show up on all. Either I don't see communities that consistently spew propaganda, and disinformation here, or its just not as bad here.
