[Vote] Use the Fediverse Overseer to pre-emptively defederate from suspected botted instances

See the tool here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/95652

And some discussion of the issue here: https://lemm.ee/post/177673

This tool produces a list of instances which have a very high number of users compared to the number of comments and posts. These instances are assumed to have high number of bot accounts on them.

Some other instances have started blocking them, should sh.itjust.works follow suit?

Of course, this need not be permanent, and will be reversed when those instances resolve the issue.

For reference, this is a list of instances suspected of being botted by the tool's default settings: https://overseer.dbzer0.com/api/v1/instances?activity_suspicion=20&domains=true

Ayes and nays please!

clay_pidgin,

Yes

LudwigvanBeethoven,

Aye!

aspseka,

Nay! We should alert them of their mistake and help them fix it. We should only defederate from instances that are only host bots.

Aye

annegreen,

Aye. I’m concerned about bot presence on Lemmy because recent estimates place bot accounts as the vast majority of accounts on the networks. I worry that if we don’t take actions against bots now, we’ll come to regret it in the future.

Aye but we need to figure out how the process of unblocking them will work.

Contextual_Idiot,

Aye!

We'll use the bots to destroy the bots!
