kknowlton is a user on octodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
while I'm at asking noob questions: What is it with all those follow/federation bots that keep following me? Is this just technology made visible, or are they scanning me to determine if I'm a spammer?
@JollyOrc The federated timeline only shows people who have been followed by someone on your instance, so some instances have bots to try to crawl and follow everyone. (As far as I understand, anyway)
@kknowlton so basically, those bots try to expand the number of people to show in their respective federated timeline?
@JollyOrc I think so, yeah.
