It may be necessary to actively block bots that become followers or scrape your posts, if you don't want to litter your bio with a string of their intrusive, "mandatory" opt-out #No… hashtags.

An hour ago, I had changed #NoBot to #NoBots, to fend off tags.pub, a brazen scraper bot of the pompous @swf. As they declared in a haughty manner, you need to opt out by adding the plural form.

An hour later, the rotten @HolosDiscover bot followed me – because it demands the singular form, #NoBot, for an "opt-out".

Fuck all nonconsentual stalker bots. For their creators, I wish they catch a long-lasting infection with Pthirus pubis, and may their arms be way too short to allow for scratching.
