Constance VariableI don't think follow bots are a good idea, because they make the federated timeline the same on every node. Without them, the federated timeline is still an expression of the interests of the node's users.
Motoma :motorcycle:@lambadalambda I agree, but blocking them from following you send counter productive. The admin (or some user on the system) had decided that's what they want to see. Users migrating from more popular servers may be in for quite a shock putting an alt on a less popular site.
@motoma yeah, no real reason to block them, except that they tend to be noisy, so they suck for people that have auto follow enabled.
