Hey 🎺.☕️ users, so apparently if you don't want to be followed by a followbot you can add #nobot to your profile. Details: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/000/183/429/original/fbdcda7e14c02db3.png?1491694530
We're still sorting out our policy on followbots because it's a complex issue but for now we're blocking/suspending them out of consideration for users' comfort, so please keep reporting. 🙂
@nolan you can also ask me to add your instance to the blacklist if you'd prefer that way ?
@nolan https://github.com/gled-rs/mastodon-autofollow/commit/3e3ff1aff557b8a39aecc8d2f8b425fbff286a9a done !
Let me know if you spot @federationbot or another !
@gled @federationbot thanks much! :)
@nolan I am thinking of also implementing a whitelist for instance wide blacklist, do you think some users at your place would like to be heard everywhere possible ?
@gled Not sure, but I opened an issue: https://github.com/tootcafe/discussions/issues/3
@nolan ok, let me know if you want me involved in the discussion ;)
@gled Yes please for now; haven't really heard any users so far speak up in favor of followbots; I think our group may be a bit more cautious. 🙂 Thanks!
