    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.

  Most Lemmy instances have some admin oversight with regard to registration. Moreover, there are always more instances, including secret instances.

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