With all these new bot instances popping up, have you already seen these accounts actually raiding stuff? And can/do we defederate from those instances?
Nah, I think they're just being mass-created. No one's actually spamming anything so far. You can see so on this directory of instances: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
If you scroll around you'll find some that have like 10k or 20k users and 11 posts at most.
Just a random thought experiment. Let's say I have my account on a lemmy instance: userA@mylemmy.com. One day I decide to stop paying for the domain and move to userA@mynewlemmy.com, and someone else gains it and also starts up a lemmy instance....
Have you already encountered those new bots on Lemmy?
