I am asking for 2 main reasons.
- I can’t even think of any way that a recent thread can get this giant amount of comments.
- I have a concern here about how Lemmy can fight bot accounts. Is there is any plan or way for that or is Lemmy defenseless against bots?
More importantly, is Lemmy. World admins/mods investigating or are aware of this?
Sorting globally by comments in my main page(I block suspicious instances) brings the following post as the second most comments post, this year:
So, to put it simply.
Either the post I am suspicious of is highly lucky in comments or that the post comments is full of bots.
I don’t think it’s strange that a post like the one in your OP would be top (in terms of comments) for the year, with or without deleted comments.
Doesn’t unreasonable.
