@theropologist hallo, I take care of @PleaseCaption and someone from your instance suggested that Beige.Party might be a good place for it to go, since BotsIn.Space is shutting down.

The bot follows ~10k accounts, subscribes to toots (not boosts), and sends ~2-ish DMs an hour. Assuming the bot is a good fit, would you be comfortable hosting it?

@22 @PleaseCaption I'm ok with it as long as it's opt in. Looking at your pinned toot it does appear to be. I think Beige Party would be a great fit, we're usually near the top of the rankings for adding alt text to media.

@theropologist thanks, yes, the bot follows everyone who follows it and monitors their posts for media lacking alt text. So it’s opt-in in that people get DMs from the bot only if they’re following it.

But I just want to make sure I’m transparent about the potential for load. Hosting this bot might mean that your server gets a lot more posts than before. I’m not sure how to quantify this or if we can predict the extra load before-hand, but I’m happy to help you with any due diligence before we proceed?

Thanks again!

@22 Thanks I appreciate it. I think we should be able to handle it. If not, I've got resources to scale up if needed.
