@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.

Poll time (Multiple selection possible):
Should I make a "Summoned MIKU" bot that posts the "OOO-EEE-OOO" video to every post mentioning Hatsune Miku (and ofc respects the
#nobot flag)

And

Should I look into a bot that Markov-Chains Bible verses? (could be offensive to people who are Christians)

@AccidentalHaiku Your bot found and boosted my post that used no hashtags, meaning it had to scrape and process text. I also have had #NoIndex and #NoBot in my profile for years now. Does this bot intentionally disregard the filter flags or is this an oversight?

Please correct this to respect the flags some of us use to prevent this kind of data capture.

Je n'accepte pas d'abonnement de personnes qui n'ont aucun post, aucune présentation, je suis en mode public pour l'instant, histoire de découvrir, faire connaissance mais le mode public n'est pas celui avec lequel je suis à l'aise, donc ne m'invitez pas si votre profil est vide, ou alors exprimez-vous en m'envoyant un message, merci.

As you can see from cathode.church/fedi-scraper-co they don't respect the #NoBot #NoAI etc. Tags. And in my experience, especially online, people are rarely searching in good faith, they want someone to pick at, but the bigger issue is the above violates consent, so if I have the #NoBot tec tags on my profile, everyone of those would scrape my content anyway. The other half of this is refusing to comprehend that there are a large number of people that don't want to be other's content and want to post among their federated circle and value organic, human, growth over someone just randomly finding them. While this isn't fully me, for example, anyone can see me, but I don't wanna interact with everybody, which is why I don't have #WebMentions on my blog for example. In truth, I don't want any data of theirs on my website, period, and this includes social media replies. I'd like a one way web mention instead, where they know I linked them but interaction is on my terms not theirs, but going back to the above, the above gives examples where consent is violated. Not everyone is worth interacting with online. @miturian

cathode.churchIt has been X days since a Fedi Scraper.

This Fediverse bot @FediTree has tried to adopt a social-norm around which people and accounts on the Fediverse to include.

@FediTree generates an image with a (Christmas?) tree in it, with the (Christmas?) tree ornaments decorating the tree being the accounts you recently interacted with the most.

@FediTree adopted social-norm is: it doesn't include accounts that have the #nobot hash-tag on their profile, or have set their account to NOT be "discoverable".

An important update for #FediTree just dropped:

- New command: Reply with #delete to delete the generated tree.
- New command: Write "🎄" in your mention to force the bot to re-generate your tree for this year (otherwise it will ignore any mentions after the first).
- Usernames are now included in the alt text, to keep the post clean.
- Accounts with discoverability set to off will no longer appear in the FediTree.
- The bot will tell how many accounts didn't end up in your tree due to #nobot tag or discoverability setting.
- The bot will try to use the remote server API first, and warn that the result may be inaccurate if it couldn't.
