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

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

The built in failsafe is federation.

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

Lemmy also has bots though. Luckily you can block them.

I think it’s more fun to stick a tag on them. Depends on the bot of course

wait, like user created bots or did Lemmy specifically make them to inflate the site’s userbase?

When someone specifically makes a bot they can mark the account the bot uses as a bot. And you can filter those out.
Of course nothing keeps someone from not marking a bot as a bot.

One of the actually funny recurring jokes on Reddit was “everyone on Reddit is a bot except you”.
It’s becoming less and less funny by the day.

“… except you, a dog. Because on the internet nobody knows that you’re a dog.”
so there are no humans on reddit
