What’s the point of paying bots to join Lemmy instances?

    But since they’re mostly being added to small servers where the signup security is bad, couldn’t the main servers just defederate those small bot-filled instances to reduce spam?

      I imagine this will happen, and the bots will move to larger instances where they can hide among the crowd.
