i block the "trending" bots on sight, and if there's a whole server full of bots boosting posts i'll defederate from it. they have no right to insert themselves into my social fabric #tagsPub

@ana@starlite.rodeo some techbros are worse, they aren't even sitting silently near you but hiding behind a rock a few metres away or parked in a van nearby with a directional shotgun microphone, so you can't always see them unless you are actively looking out for such things, and even if you challenge them they might just say something like "I am recording seagulls for wildlife research"

@ana@starlite.rodeo i wish there was a way to block bots universally. i'm not interested in anything not posted by an actual person
