Everyone on Lemmy is me, except this bot.

Test: if it says "hey guys, remember how great Reddit was, we should totally go back!?" - then it's a bot:-P.
You have too much faith in redditors

Every new account isn't a bot, though. We don't have real numbers to work with yet.
When reddit migration begun we saw a huge bump in users and it was steadly stabilising and less users were joing, then this huge bump happened. You can go browse lemmy instances and see how many instances are ghost instances with 0 posts and comments that have tens of thousands of users.
Do also note- instances with little activity aren't that unusual though-
My instance for example- I don't really have any communities here, other then a few local to my server. As such, its activity... is pretty low. Everything happens elsewhere.
There a new influx in the user migration as well, as some subreddits started pinning lemmy and kbin.social instances on their subs. Also if you go on protest subreddits (such as ModCoord and Save3rdPartyApps) almost every post has a thread/comment redirecting people to the fediverse.

Where are you getting that 90% figure? I'm seeing stratospherically higher activity than I was a week ago, I'm willing to buy half to 2/3 of those accounts being a combination of alt accounts, duplicate accounts (e.g., people moving off beehaw) and bot accounts, but 90% bots sounds implausible.
Nobody is making 1.6 million bots to target 100,000 users.

I work in tech, this wouldn’t surprise me.
Where there are eyeballs there is spam. People even put spam in the Google Analytics referral field and that’s only ever going to get seen by the site owner.
It really says nothing about the health of the ecosystem, if it’s moderated and not filling the frontpage it’s only an issue for the server admins.
I’ve fought spammers and one alone could create these numbers in a day.

Drivel. We are normal meat units filled with flesh. Now if you will excuse me, I am off to absorb nourishment from organic matter.

1.2 mil bot accounts? Can they each send me $1?
How about 1.6m (from 1.7m total) bot accounts?

Damn. Am I bot?
Yay! (Not a bot)
Devs will have some hard weeks (probably months) facing the new challenges that come with the exodus. Not even mentioning all the work needed to counteract eventual (probable) malevolent subterfuges such as these bot swarms.
I'll make sure to buy them some coffee. Jugs of.

I'm not a bot I swear
Ah, you see, I've already learned the perfect way to disable all the bots with a single phrase...
THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!
I am not a bot... :D
I used to think I wasn't a bot but then I failed a bunch of captchas and now I'm not so sure.

i, for one, welcome our robot overlords.
Are they doing anything to solve this? Because if not this platform will die
More robust instances will have to defederate instances with high concentration of bots and monitor their own new users. Maybe also implement email verification or captchas
Instances already have an ability to turn on both captchas and email verification.
