Thread

I am asking for 2 main reasons.

  1. I can't even think of any way that a recent thread can get this giant amount of comments.
  2. I have a concern here about how Lemmy can fight bot accounts. Is there is any plan or way for that or is Lemmy defenseless against bots?

More importantly, is Lemmy. World admins/mods investigating or are aware of this?

@FuckingHellGenocida@lemmy.cafe has a ton of deleted comments, then this comment replies to one of them. in which @GenocideCuntFuckoff@lemmings.world replies over 2000 times.

You also have this comment asking about bots. To which JordanLund replies it is a single person running scripts. His reply garners nearly 1300 replies from @ZioDumbokrat69@lemmings.world

Between those two sets of replies, that is 3,310 of the comments. This is not counting the top level comment spam.

There are only a handful of comments remaining in the thread. Less than 20 legitimate comments.
