Post #3454569

@ZanaGB@lgbtqia.space Agreed, "you would think...". The vast majority of responses I saw were in agreement that this should be opt-in, not opt-out. And I think Evan (whose service this is) is fully aware that his choices are not publicly defensible. As a result of the comments on this thread, he (a) stopped automatically opting instances in if they showed up on a relay his bot-farm was following and (b) appears to have manually excluded my account (maybe my instance, not sure) from further boost-blasting. His reaction appears to be "try to smother the complaints" rather than "fix the problems that make people object". That says a lot. I have more to say, but I'll do it in a separate post.
