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.
I would not be surprised if that's what they'll try to do, especially with Facebook apparently trying to enter the fediverse. They'll probably try to destroy the instances that aren't part of a big corporation.
I'm hoping their project (and other companies' similar projects) never takes off.
Yup. I hope the federated model can defned against these things. But im really nervous.
Lemmy is so cool rn.
