As in I genuinely don't know if the fediverse tech helps with ai spamming - my assumption is even if it ever became a real threat to mainstream social media or big tech it would be flooded by ai bots anyways

    Even with it being federated I don't see how Lemmy could be immune to astroturfing. I'm sure there's some already going on. Lemmy just isn't yet popular enough to be a major target. Instances can defederate from one another but it's trivial to create a new account on a different instance and resume turfing. I suppose the openness of Lemmy's logs, when compared to the closed-source centralized nature of reddit, could help suss out turfers though.

    extreme versions political communities, instances are likely to get spammed, so reducing that would be defederating or blocking those instances. Lemmy will eventually have to come up with more anti-botting tools to combat this.
