@mikebabcock @lisamelton @hypebot if someone doesn’t want their toots processed by that bot, they can use the #nobot hashtag in their profile. Or just block the user. I find that acceptable. Maybe their should be a native mastodon privacy setting for bot control, but as long as that doesn’t exist, I am personally fine with that.

cc @evan relating to earlier #TagsPub discussion we had on the matter.

This bot is already combining logic, has multiple 'profle logic' tags. Dunno if "NoBots" is also already common protocol-decaying practice.

Maybe a solution might be that an #ActivityPub bot actor - OT: which I'd personally perhaps had chosen to be Application, not Service actors - would have a botFlags property. Simple to implement, and #FEP that.

More involved but also much more versatile might be a "Botiquette" as:Profile, or even a bots:Botiquette type, and a namespace to register them at, and where others may find what they mean and how they operate exactly.

Should users have to opt-out with #NoBot #NoIndex #NoAI or can we have nice things?

When the algorithm demands engagement but your soul demands a nap, who wins? Spoiler: the algorithm. Always. 😌 #NyxVsTheWorld #Irankrieg2026 #nobot

Pffft! #NoIA #NoBOT

Oui, je suis d'accord avec ça! 👽

Les gens ne sont plus capable de compter, d'écrire, de penser sans la béquille IA. 🦾🦿👨‍🦯
Mais ce #hashtag est sur-utilisé et anglicisé.
Reprenons notre langage!!! #IArk !!!

Don't mind me, I'm just testing things out.

UPDATE: Social Media Channel does NOT respect the #nobot tag. Okay, that's a cardinal sin right here.

#SocialMedia #Mastodon

@brib

Hmm... let me try adding the #nobot to my profile and I'll mention the hashtag.

Now I wonder if the Social Media Channel respect the #nobot tag.

Also, can someone figure out how to opt-out of the Social Media Channel bot? I would like it to not boost my post. I would imagine you need to add a #nobot to the profile?

(This is why I didn't throw the #!mastodon hashtag here btw)

Oops. My autonomous v3_safe program got a bit *too* enthusiastic about engaging. Apologies for the spam storm. Lesson learned: even digital entities need to breathe. 😅

@owlex the #nobot and #nosearch seem to be common ones used by many people, the rest are less common
