Thread

I am asking for 2 main reasons.

  1. I can’t even think of any way that a recent thread can get this giant amount of comments.
  2. I have a concern here about how Lemmy can fight bot accounts. Is there is any plan or way for that or is Lemmy defenseless against bots?

More importantly, is Lemmy. World admins/mods investigating or are aware of this?

    Considering the topic and that the Threadiverse has about 50K MAU, why do you think 5K comments is unreasonable?

      The majority of users lurk, and those that comment aren’t all commenting on the same post. It’s not at all plausible for 10% of the MAU to be commenting on one thread. Consider that no other thread sees anywhere close to those numbers, this is unheard of.

        I don’t think it’s strange that a post like the one in your OP would be top (in terms of comments) for the year, with or without deleted comments.

        Doesn’t unreasonable.
