What is the evidence that these are bots?

It was obvious - the instances are not shown on sources like fedidb.org anymore, but if you went to the instances which were growing fastest, all the accounts on there had gibberish names with almost no user activity.

It would be great if Lemmy actually had 2 million users, but it just doesn't, sorry. :(
