  I expect the software to improve. The “fediverse chick” spam is the perfect opportunity to test countermeasures.

  DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.

    Botted comments and admins not in the helm.

    I’ll admit, the thing that made me go from Kbin to Lemmy was seeing tons of spam on unmoderated places. (Not blaming the admin for not being able to manage the site in that particular case, they had more pressing issues.)

    this is why I’m ok staying small and never going mainstream, honestly I had hoped that for reddit pre 2010 but by mid 2010s it was already too far gone

      Spam is only going to get worse anyway, just like bots spam on all forum, just by them using a specific forum engine

  Perhaps a way to limit how fast new instances are able to post and tools to identify those causing spam

    That won’t stop anyone. Just spin up 50 instances and let them sit for a while until they’re not so new anymore.

    Then when you need one, grab one off the shelf that’s been riping for a while.

    It’s only a bump when they get started.
