I have seen three rather obvious spam bots so far, all of which were almost instantly downvoted into oblivion and soon thereafter removed from the site. Granted, I mainly frequent niche videogame communities so I can't say anything about the spam/bot situation in bigger communities (like politcal stuff etc.) but for the part of the Fediverse I personally use, it is definitely an upgrade compared to the current situation of reddit.
