One of my friends is in the red teaming world and this is, in his opinion, the top threat to the fediverse. Not everyone knows how to host properly so may expose themselves somehow and will not have proper DDOS mitigation in place. Unless you have a very robust and difficult sign up process it's going to be easy to overrun places with bots too. On the other hand, you CANNOT add friction to signing up or it'll cause people to turn away. Ten additional seconds can turn away half of attempted sign ins.

That's just a good thing that malbots must be considered one of the top threats that Fediverse should finely deal with. Yet for now and near future, how would the servers detect AI-powered malbots(could be acting like humans registering in Fediverse) and eradicate them away Fediverse. But unfortunately, the only thing I could do now and awhile (cause I'm no IT man but intuitive enough to discern while lurking in lemmy.world & others in Fediverse) is to rant-post for a concern/awareness of something invisible that should appear—nothing else I can better help 😞.
Hey, bringing awareness is hugely important for getting eyes on the problem.
