There is no reason for a bot to be able to access or post on federated social networks if the goal is to make social media humane.
For this reason, bots should be heavily disallowed from posting content to or accessing content from federated social media.
Or you can just block them.
Why allow bots, marketing assholes, and spammers the platform to post and spam to the fediverse? Why? IT really achieves nothing of value and literally just dilutes real, original user activity and discussion.
Then set up your own instance with no bots, and defederate with any instance that uses bots.
It appears that most people here don’t agree. I have the one repost bot blocked because it was just filling up TIL, but otherwise I don’t personally care as long ad they’re not intrusive.
People like you are why any place of cultural import becomes less and less interesting as you inhabit and deteriorate the standards which used to be upheld from within. You are the ultimate consumer. “I don’t care” is not a position on any philosophical debate, why should it stand here?
