Lemmy has multiplied it's number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Any conversation, be it political or commercial. All it takes is something sounding confident, a grain of truth and lots of upvotes to convince people.

That's why I like seeing downvoted as a red flag people can pay attention to

Pretty much why Reddit removed downvotes I think... brands got tired of users raining downvotes on them for shilling lol.
