Reddit CEO says facial verification may be introduced. Ostensibly to prevent bots.

But we all know how dangerous this can be. But most likely Reddit users will just accept it.

Although they have a great free analogue right under their noses - Lemmy. Which is many times better than its competitor.

I wish more people would discover Lemmy, but that's unlikely.

Is there a reason to expect bots won't overwhelm Lemmy as well?

This is the real question here. Especially with advanced AI, it might be difficult to spot bot accounts.

Most likely, they will. They are not elikely to infect larger instances. Smaller instances will spot them and ban them, I hope.

Why do you expect they will be unlikely to infect larger instances?
