As technology advances and computers become increasingly capable, the line between human and bot activity on social media platforms like Lemmy is becoming blurred.

What are your thoughts on this matter? How do you think social media platforms, particularly Lemmy, should handle advanced bots in the future?

Mhm, I love dismissive "Look, it already works, and there's nothing to improve" comments.

Lemmy lacks significant capabilities to effectively handle the bots from 10+ years ago. Nevermind bots today.

The controls which are implemented are implemented based off of "classic" bot concerns from nearly a decade ago. And even then, they're shallow, and only "kind of" effective. They wouldn't be considered effective for a social media platform in 2014, they definitely are not anywhere near capability today.
