Are there any bots that make shitty comments or something like that? And is there anything lemmy would do against bots? I don’t like dead internet theory and hope this place is free

Yeah. Fucktons. There is even a community or two entirely populated by bots (akin to the Subreddit Simulator sub on Reddit).
But at least if they are properly labeled by their operator, Lemmy already has an option to hide them from view in the settings.
Rogue spambots do sometimes appear, but it’s pretty uncommon and most mods are quick to ban the accounts and delete their spam.
