@MalthusJohn we allow bots on mas.to, but have very specific rules about how they can operate:
“All automated (bot) accounts must enable the bot flag in their account preferences, respect #nobot markers, and post as unlisted unless making less than one post per hour.”
So they’re easy to block and won’t flood your local timeline.
I’d say our moderation team is great, but, then, I’d be biased.
Seriously, though. I think we do a pretty good job, and we’d love to have you.
