Lemmy has multiplied it’s number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

        individualy delete thousands? sure, it could be done, but that’s a lot of work and sure to create some false positives.

      World enabled captchas afaik, not sure what shit has done against the bots yet

      Some other affected instances have started deleting bot accounts though

      Yup. But you can always go beehaw and defederate them anyway - as they did with both of your examples.
