For example:

  • bots everywhere
  • astroturfing
  • repost bots being sold to spread propaganda
  • etc.

This is my worry for the Web. Lemmy seems even more open than Reddit was (less bot prevention). Maybe Lemmy will get beefier protection as time goes on?

    Same here. I just want to still see the ability to move or duplicate my account to another instance. For peace of mind.

      It might be possible to raise it as an improvement suggestion on the project’s github, something like “allow migration of user accounts to other lemmy instances”. Not sure how much work it’s gonna take or if it’s even possible, but we do have more people willing to pitch in and help now.

        AFAIK it was planned before everyone came over from Reddit. Right now they’re focusing on putting out the fires that are springing up.
