The built in failsafe is federation.

Yeah, bots having the ability to jump instances when they’re banned makes us safer from bots

I don’t know how it is now but when I joined lemmy every server but .World required like a written paragraph and to wait for an email

oh yeah. every instance I asked to join needed one of those. but I suppose I person could fill that out then let their bot run the account once they’re in

It is also the case of asking if an account is a bot account where you can’t tell after a quick glance of their history. There are ways of dealing with spam accounts, but there isn’t a way to deal with bot accounts that aren’t blatant spam.
