Ugh, I’ve muted 3 bots on Mastodon today. If this turns into a hellhole of bots, boosts, righteous indignation and self-promotion, I’m outta here, too. (There is a difference— I’ve muted over 3000 accounts on Twitter in the last 2 weeks and it hasn’t made a damn bit of difference)

@Devils_Rancher seriously people if you build a bot don't set it up to send stuff to the public timelines. People who find it useful can follow it.

@Devils_Rancher Isn't there something about putting a #nobots on your bio will prevent bots?

@DistroJunkie I hadn’t heard that. Would be nice if true

@Devils_Rancher I’ve been giving serious consideration to just muting the botsin.space instance for myself. Should be an option in the ... menu of a toot from there.

@anthracite I’ll keep an eye on instances- that’s probably a good idea.
