    According to ad hoc statistics. Between 25-50% of posters are bots. However posters are only about 10% of the Reddit population.

    If we make a completely incorrect assumption and say that every single user is a poster, that still means 10-15x the entire population of Lemmy, it doesn’t really change much here.

    If you take the difference between posters and lockers into account and you are crazy harsh with the bot numbers you’re really only reducing the population of non-bits by like 20% or so.
