Lemmy.World Bots and the Fediverse's Leniency towards Licking Boots (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I am curious what can be done about the Lemmy.World era of botting corpo comments to protect their investments?

Anything remotely federated w/ LW has a massive hard-on for corporations (anti-piracy boot-lickers only added us back when we had the largest community in the fediverse), racism (you ain't american, you aint right), a desire to troll/argue in bad faith, and a general "fuck you, I have 500 accounts to down-vote with."

I myself have over 60 accounts on Lemmy.World; and because of that, I am 100% certain somebody has a type of SMM portal to scan for keywords and upvote/downvote accordingly.

Don't believe me?

Go post about Apple, Facebook, Tesla, or any other 1% owned entity, and watch which accounts upvote/downvote in less time than required to read the post.

I feel like many other instances did also shut their doors, wasn't just lemmy.ml, I never tried signing up to dbzer0 back then (didn't come here until after world's big feud over c/piracy) so I don't know entirely what the situation here was like at the time here, I just know that enough instances took the route of either completely closing or very strict application procedures to make it difficult for Redditors migrating here.

I don't deny though that another big part of it definitely was lemmy.world's more centrist mentality and more lenient moderation.
