Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

    That’s an excellent question! It might be hard to convince you that i am in fact not a bot – why would there be bots on Lemmy?

      I’m sure there must be. There are enough tech geeks kicking about that at least one of them would give their weird self-hosted LLM an account. Hopefully nothing too malicious or widespread, but it’s well within the realm of possibility.
