Lemmy has a massive problem with bot accounts, astroturfing, and ban evasion that no one really wants to admit. Right wing propaganda is also becoming much more common on the fediverse. As much as people like to bash other social media and say lemmy / the fediverse is immune to this stuff, it really isn't. Being smaller just means it takes longer to spread here, but it definitely has started.

Yeah this site has been positively overrun by pro-AI commenters. And it's a recent phenomenon.
