Does ActivityPub have a defense against using bots to create artificial engagement? I imagine it's probably not hard to make a bot that's activity is close enough to human like to make it hard to tell.
I'm curious what the solution would be for that. Seems to happen a lot on the centralized systems--but are they really trying to fix it? I have doubts.
