I know probably not the perfect place to post this but want to get the discussion started and don’t know enough to be scared or not: because of the decentralization of Lemmy, is it extremely vulnerable to malicious/ad bots, astroturfing, spam and such?

    The decentralized nature is one of the aspects that prevents this kind of behavior, because it favors small instances/servers that are easier to moderate. And even if you are in an instance that has some moderation problems, you can always move to another one better moderated and still be able to consume the same content.
