I think the chances for the fediverse having this are generally lower. I saw a rough estimate that puts our bubble at 1.5 million. By comparison, reddit is 500 million and YouTube is 2.5bn.

Yes, we are a bunch of nerds in that 1.5m number but we also value human input and generally seem to only use practical bots - and some people don't even like those. We also have the bot account option, which should inspire more trust, though we have to trust that people actually use it.

Compared to reddit or YouTube, which I've personally seen as testing grounds for rolling out bot accounts. Whole subs dedicated to it. It's not that it doesn't, can't, or won't happen here, I know we have a number of repost bots from various instances - I'm moreso just saying that I think being so small helps. When the dead Internet arrives, the fediverse will have been one of the last bastions of human interaction on the Internet.

Except for mastodon. I see a lot of bots there compared to lemmy/Kbin
