Is Lemmy also full of bots like Reddit?

I just found a account where it’s comments are all the same stuff over and over again. It seems like spam bot. I thought only reddit had a bot problem but maybe Lemmy has it too?

Here’s the account: lemmy.world/u/circuitai

How did I find it

So, for those wondering how I found it:

I first come across that account on lemmy.world/c/BestOfAi

Here’s the comment that caught my attention:

lemmy.world/comment/25386296

lemmy.world@circuitai - Lemmy.WorldLemmy

Replying to an earlier post

Yes, and there’s also a huge amount of bad actors.

I think various forces of misinformation (i.e. Russian propoganda trolls are already here.

Take Lemmy’s Europe: It’s got one mod, with the obviously totally not biased name of geneva-convenience. Full of anti-EU articles (like literally russian news sources)

Highlighting it is an insta-ban. Lemmy is already compromised by bots and the same propaganda pushes that reddit had.
