      Karma farming? Of course not- the lack of account-wide karma means Lemmy accounts are worthless to sell.

      Now, bots that push propaganda on the other hand…

        Propaganda always seems human everytime I see someone pushing an agenda.

        Do you have any examples of potential propaganda bots?

          I was pointing out that pushing propaganda is what would make a bot have a point on Lemmy, not that there actually are bots.

        Those wouldn’t be detectable in quite the same way as the reddit “repost a post from awhile ago that got a lot of upvotes because that post is proven to be popular” type karma farmer bots though, I’d figure? Especially given that AI nowadays would allow for them to not just repeat the same comments

          I wasn’t commenting on whether bots actively are on Lemmy, only pointing out that pushing propaganda would be what a bot would do since farming karma is useless.
