Also someone raised a concern about privacy because bots could scrape your posts. Here's my opinion, but I'm open to suggestion or debate:

When you post a public toot, then it is accessible to the whole world. Posting anything public on the web is your consent for anyone having access to it.

What do you guys think?

@nicdex yeah that seems fair. Posting something public is implicitly agreeing that anyone, including bots, can read it. Though some might view “public” differently… anyone?friends?closed group?human beings?

It’ll indeed help to make this clear as a disclaimer of sorts so there is no ambiguity.
