There has been a big spike in growth over the last 2 days, and some rather suspicious new instances appeared out of nowhere with thousands of new users, even though there is close to no activity in any of them.
Could all those be bots? Would it be smart to block those instances preemptively?
I’m considering to migrate a very old forum to Lemmy and that would technically result in a bunch of sudden new users as well, no? 🤔
