Are there any bots that make shitty comments or something like that? And is there anything lemmy would do against bots? I don’t like dead internet theory and hope this place is free

Let me definitely has a considerably smaller cost to reward ratio.
The number of people that can be reached and influenced on Lemmy with bots is infinitesimally small compared to something like Reddit.
But I guarantee you that the bots do not stick out, LLM bots are pretty damn good at blending in these days. And the shitty bots have been sliding by on the Internet for over a decade now.
Lemmy and other federated services are in an unfortunate position where they have moderation and administrative tools that are on par with what would be expected 10-15 years ago for a large social media service (ie. Reddit). Which means we are almost entirely unprepared and incapable of handling malicious actors on Lemmy.
