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?

you can’t just defederate individuals accounts, these bots have their home on places like shit and world
The moderator can block them?
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.
