Once Lemmy is huge, won't it have the same problems as Reddit? (sh.itjust.works)

For example:

bots everywhere
astroturfing
repost bots being sold to spread propaganda
etc.

This is my worry for the Web. Lemmy seems even more open than Reddit was (less bot prevention). Maybe Lemmy will get beefier protection as time goes on?

The things you mentioned are not a Reddit problem but an Internet problem. The point of a fediverse is not to avoid the general Internet problems but the centralization problem like Reddit being able to do whatever they want as they control everything.
