As technology advances and computers become increasingly capable, the line between human and bot activity on social media platforms like Lemmy is becoming blurred.

What are your thoughts on this matter? How do you think social media platforms, particularly Lemmy, should handle advanced bots in the future?

You can't really tell.

It's also a very very VERY small platform compared to other social media platforms like Reddit. (I had another comment where I calculated this but it's ridiculously small)

It is unlikely that it would see anywhere near the same level of dedicated bot activity due to the low return on invested effort.

This is a problem that will become greater once the value of astroturfing and shifting opinion on Lemmy is high enough.
