Comment on Is this Lemmy thread full of bots/ Fake comments?

Considering the topic and that the Threadiverse has about 50K MAU, why do you think 5K comments is unreasonable?
Sorting globally by comments in my main page(I block suspicious instances) brings the following post as the most comments post, this year:
So, to put it simply.
Either the post I am suspicious of is highly lucky in comments or that the post comments is full of bots.
I don’t think it’s strange that a post like that would be top (in terms of comments) for the year.

The majority of users lurk, and those that comment aren't all commenting on the same post. It's not at all plausible for 10% of the MAU to be commenting on one thread. Consider that no other thread sees anywhere close to those numbers, this is unheard of.
