while I agree in general with the sentiment, there are bots/whatevers here. not nearly as manny as on, say, twitter or reddit, or face book, but they’re here. you can see the most-obvious ones as they drop advertisements for random stuff in places like ‘news’ and ‘world news’ Mods are very good at yeeting those quickly.

There was even one marketer that created their own instance of lemmy to flood the fediverse with. though I think that got defederated pretty quickly.

again, you’re absolutely right that the accusations are going to be mostly wrong.
