For those wondering, this is how Calckey lets you add users to a list without having to follow them
There's a 'proxy' account that will follow a user and then the server just adds the posts to your list. Genius.
scott f@sam ok but I'm definitely not approving that "proxy" follow request...
@scott Yeah I'm definitely of mixed opinions on it, but more on the optimistic side. Depends on the instance for me.
Main use cases for me:
- Creating a 'funny' list so that high quality content shows up in the federated timeline
- Creating a list of news accounts or RSS feed accounts
- Basically separating things out to keep my main feed clear.
Any harassment uses or something like that would remove the semi-anonymity of it, and reports would still work.
