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?

I see as showing 13,627. So probably script/s.

Which also explains my being banned from an instance after sleepily uninstalling my particular browser which stores passwords, rather than merely rm'ing from the home screen. I couldn't find my key at reinstallation, so had to rereg for some instances, then a few days later found it and was able to recover passwords. I can easily see why the admin of that instance assumed

Private instance, also clearly lying about forgetting password.

It happens. But I'm not bothering with re-regging.
