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?

The majority of users lurk, and those that comment aren't all commenting on the same post. It's not at all plausible for 10% of the MAU to be commenting on one thread. Consider that no other thread sees anywhere close to those numbers, this is unheard of.
