This doesn't change the policy and the benefits it will bring in the long run.

It's crap for the delivery drivers though. But longer term isn't forever and at somepoint that wage increase will directly benefit them as well.

Can you imagine the growth from all the people ordering.

Men as in?

That is a great origin story for a username; what made you decide to stick with it?

There's nothing wrong with those kind of bots But when you take an instance for example granitestate.social, I think that's what it's called, which when I was looking into it had 100,000 inactive accounts sat there doing nothing.

These bots that have been created over the course of maybe a week could be used to spam or brigade instances. Emphasis on COULD, maybe they just sit there. Who knows?

But many instances took to purging idle bot accounts that had been created on their instances and defedrating from instances that had excessive numbers of bots

These idle accounts are hard to detect, so only when they appear in large quantities are they removable.

Just to clear up really I guess, I'm not talking about a Reddit repost bot or twitter scraper, more large amounts of bot spam.

I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I'm not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore

Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed

Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it's worth noting this fact

1. Buy unprofitable application
2. Make a series of incredibly shit business decisions
3. It's now less profitable than before.
4. ???
5. ???
6. Profit

Aye

No you can't.

You cannot prove that it isn't however. And until you can prove that it isn't, by virtue of not being proven, it has not been proven. And as such it has not been proven and is therefore unproven. So yes it is.

It is so much better now then it was a month ago so imo we are now a floating boat rather than a sinking one that we are using buckets to keep floating
