I’ve started to realize that every social media platform, including Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, etc., has issues with bot spam and fake follower accounts. These platforms typically combat this problem by implementing various measures such as ban waves, behavior detection, and more.

What strategies/tools did Lemmy employ to address bots, and what additional measures could further improve these efforts?

    That’s a kbin thing. I have never seen ‘buy cheap Viagra, Oxycontin, etc.’ on Lemmy. It probably exists, but whenever I block and report a user they’re from kbin.
