I really hope this drives a ton of users to Lemmy. I love this platform but it sadly really feels like a 20% Reddit :/
It's a solution to a problem Lemmy will soon have in that case.
Which is bots.
Lemmy isn't flooded with bots and astroturfing because it's essentially too small to matter. The audience is something like < 0.001% that of reddit.
Once it grows the problem comes here as well, and we have no answers for it.
It's a shitty situation for the internet as a whole, and the only solution is verifying humans. And corporations CANNOT be trusted with that kind of access/power
Note: Make the UX on Lemmy even worse to keep the Redditors out!
