Interesting. I’d like to know more about this if you can provide any further info (ex. what community or instance was the post on, how recently was the bot comment).

I’ve definitely seen a number of sus accounts but they’re usually few and far between, and oftentimes get addressed immediately. There is a problem with how bad actors can join so many different instances or create instances of their own to cause problems.

EDIT: I think I’ve found it. Doesn’t seem to be a full on bot account but the comment is AI slop that a human probably chose to comment for whatever reason

At least on Lemmy people are real

We may be generally in the clear right now, but don’t assume that any particular forum or social medium is immune to being hijacked by astroturfing or botting

You could have just said Lorem ipsum and it would have made as much sense
