@Dianora or maybe the damn bots do not respect #nobot. Many don't.

@manna Ilmeisesti joku dataharvester / suodatustyökalu. JSONin lopussa oli jotain linkkejä projektiin, sielltä löysin "poistumistoiveen" (opt-out) ohjeen: https://github.com/awakari/.github/blob/master/OPT-OUT.md . #nobot riittänee ehkä profiilissa.

@TOrynski Mniej więcej ekwiwalent hashtagów typu #NoBot wstawianych do bio na Mastodonie

@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.

Need to check if #noBot in the profile prevents this…

Or maybe just avoid those hashtags

perché è un bot impiccione che non si capisce nemmeno se rispetta eventuali #nobot o #nobots in bio, buuuuuu cacca schifo buuuuuu

@BrauchC@moppels.bar @oldperl@mastodon.online auch das sie das #noBot in der Bio nicht beachten wird immer mehr

As you can see from https://cathode.church/fedi-scraper-counter.html 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

@micr0@fuzzies.wtf @altbot@fuzzies.wtf also is there a way to exclude it from a single post if it's following you? such as tagging it with #nobot maybe?

@GottaLaff @timbray @evan @mick @emd @coop

Oh hi! Late to tag in, but ... define "bots" - which, if they're operated properly, respect the #nobot in profiles. In the case of follow and mention spammers - being a much smaller instance, there's a smaller proportion that hit us with more people looking out for them. We're able to be more agile than the team at the mothership instance, it's just a ratio situation.
