Absolutely. The mod tools aren't ready for anything but friendly friend spaces for friends. I had someone join my small, single purpose Lemmy site that I didn't even think someone would find and join a bunch of subs I didn't want cluttering the feed, and I couldn't even remove them without going to the database they didn't post anything.

And this is fine if you're just making a wide open general purpose forum. If people aren't causing specific issues, you don't need to know they're there. But if you're doing something specific...

On the other hand, if 100 bots has signed up and just sat there quiet, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about them until they were flooding the forum, and that's really not great.
