I'm sure this is a common topic but the timeline is pretty fast these days.

With bots looking more human than ever i'm wondering what's going to happen once everyone start using them to spam the platform. Lemmy with it's simple username/text layout seem to offer the perfect ground for bots, to verify if someone is real is going to take scrolling through all his comments and read them accurately one by one.

API is fully documented

Yes, but last I checked, it was documented very poorly. It's just bad enough that I'm not super motivated to build helpful tools, but not bad enough to discourage trolls.
