Local timeline is more and more dominated by bots, you can of course silence them, but it probably doesn't look attractive for new users.

@irregular I agree, let's see what's @freemo take on this.

Personally, I silenced them all

@arteteco We can have them post unlisted. But there shouldnt be "more" domination by bots, there shuldn't be any new bots @irregular

@freemo @arteteco The latest I silenced was Chelmex (looks bot-ish though I suppose it could be a real person just retweeting things). And just now when I'm typing this post a new one "Napoleon" has appeared (no toot history). Doesn't really bothered me either way beacuse I have them silenced now but they are still visible while registering.

@irregular Ohh hmm both of those are new. All our bots are required to be unlisted unless approved. Please report them ill silence them and message them. Thanks for the catch.

@arteteco

@irregular I just spoke to the bot owners, they will now be unlisted. If you see any bot post onthe local timeline please report it and i will globally silence it and reach out to the owner. @arteteco
