☑ Clear label for bot accounts
☑ 3 different levels of captcha verification (I use the intermediary level in my instance and rarely deal with any bot)
Profiling algorithms seems like something people are running away when they choose fediverse platforms, this kind of solution have to be very well thought and communicated.
☑ Reporting in lemmy is just as easy as anywhere else.

What do you suggest other than profiling accounts?
This is not up to Lemmy development team.
Idem.
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.
