And people want Meta involved in the Fediverse, like reddit wasn’t bad enough.

If the fediverse gets a lot of traction, this sort of “spam” will be difficult to moderate and every instance will need to have sophisticated systems to prevent it.

It’s okay Meta is totally great at removing spam and fake accounts.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, I see your point. All I’m saying is spam is difficult when you are a large target.
