Lemmy is heavily astroturfed. There is no way Lemmy instance admins have the time or resources to do the kind of subversion detection reddit did. That’s if the astroturfers aren’t already running larger Lemmy instances to build them up.
Here is one of many from reddit. Hopefully some OSINT groups start doing research on Lemmy and outing the bot networks that operate here, because it’s election season in the US and it’s showing.
For example, I don’t think the lemmy.world admin has the domain knowledge to detect customized Lemmy docker code that allows a hacking group to hide their accounts from admins/mods and go undetected for a very long time, until it’s noticed on accident.
Thank you. :) Also true to a degree. There are toxic people everywhere but it seems I’ve been running more often into them lately.

Interesting. Didn’t know Reddit was vigilant with moderation that much. Thanks for providing insightful information.
