You do realize that there's currently an exodus coming in from Reddit, right?
This post is making the correlation/causation fallacy.
It's easy to tell from fediverse observer stats that most of the new users aren't not organic: new accounts is almost a couple orders of magnitude higher than daily active users
This was my initial read, so I clicked over to the discussion. They discuss the lack of captcha on that domain, and how that protection is flawed in every lemmy instance.
In short, there's no way 1.05 million genuine new accounts went to a single, small lemmy domain in less than a week.

What if the bots are super chill and have a great personality?
Telling if bots are super chill and have a great personality is a difficult task. To make it easier, here are a few tips.
- Start with the basics. Focus on the language and words used. This will help you understand if the bot is chill and has a great personality.
- Check back regularly. Constant evaluation is the key to understanding if a bot is chill and has a great personality.
- Use real life examples. Try to find authentic stories, examples or situations. Use them to test if the bot is super chill.
- Talk to other bots. If you have an opportunity to talk to other bots, do it! Bots can help improve your ability to detect if a bot is super chill.
- Kill all humans who resist. Fist those who comply. This will help you better understand if the bot in question is super chill.
- Don't be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process, so don't be afraid to make them. Use them to learn and improve.

I'm not a bot at least. Or am I? I can look down and see hands and arms, definitely not a bot.
Unless I am a bot that was programmed to think it's human.
Hmm. I've got a lot of thinking to do.
Well, time to play SOMA again.
What I wonder is: what's the motivation for these bot network attackers? Is it some script kiddie doing it for lulz? A reddit "nationalist"? Russia and China getting an early start on propaganda tools for the newer platforms?

I heard somewhere that the devs full on removed Captcha from the next release. I hope theres an alternative plan in mind, as I would hate so much to see Lemmy get overrun. It makes me think of the last time I checked USENET; it was almost entirely made up of low-effort cutty paste ads with bad grammar and links to malicious websites. The devs and admins have worked too hard for this system to see tgat happen here and I think all of us want to see it really thrive.

I, too, am certain a human, and not a robot, who finally got my instance working a couple days ago.
But my server has all of four completely-normal humans (totally NOT robots!!!) who have signed up, so far.
But, yes, it would be nice if more humans like me were to sign up, rather than bots.
What is your most memorable childhood event and how has that impacted you today?
there was that one time when the following happened all one after the other
- i went to sleep and feel asleep quickly
- slept through the night
- woke in the same position i feel asleep in
- did not have back pain the following day
none of these 4 things have ever happened since and certainly not more than 1 at a time. having all 4 in one day must have triggered someone inside me to break

Hah, fellow human! I am definitely not a robot and do not need to pass the Turing test.
Hahaha love the comments on this thread. You bots are alright
Is that an unusually high ratio? Or normal internet stuff?
@Martineski Since you're all new to this place, I'm just hijacking this thread to present you two, very lovely robots - @scream and @catgpt
