What I don't understand is, I had expected the improved detection makes the "known bot" graph go up with your change. How come the numbers go down? You did not scare them away, did you?

@bertkoor@mastodon.social @tdp_org@mastodon.social "Known bot" as in "bot of known identity". These are all known to be bots.

@bertkoor@mastodon.social @tdp_org@mastodon.social It seems to be a slight misnomer. It doesn't mean "known to be a robot". It means "a legitimate well-known WWW spider", as opposed to some other kind of robotic client that is not legitimate.
