minus-squareDiscoslugs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoThats seems bad. I know some bots are hepful. But 1 million bots seems like they for something nefariously.

minus-squareDiscoslugs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoOr just too generally troll the fediverse.
minus-squareMartineski@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoYeah, I hope that people farming them are just trolling the fediverse and don’t plan on using them.
minus-squareDiscoslugs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoLol trolling is bad. A bot army could make things miserable here.
minus-squareMartineski@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoTrolling in the sense making people freak out while not doing anything with those bots. That’s what I’m hoping for although it’s improbable.
minus-squareDiscoslugs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI was thinking more racist transphobic trolling aided by an amry of lurking upvoting bots…but ya know.
minus-squareGestrid@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoIf it’s anything like Reddit’s bots, they’ll probably post copy-pasted comments to gain upvotes, then they’ll start spamming advertisements and scams once they have a good amount.
minus-squareDiscoslugs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI’m just afraid that these bots are bascially here to sabotage lemmy. The fediverse is so awesome, there is no way big social media corps can play nice in the long term.
