* Maybe we should consider making the arXiv bot posts unlisted? *

* there's a lot of them, at schedule times of the day, late at night for me here.
*many users might not like to wade thru them.
* some might already have Muted the 5 or so arXiv posting accounts.

I know I did; it clears the timeline pretty effectively, and I have a duty as Mod to monitor all that is posted here.

So, what you Qoto users and Fedi at large think?

Unlisted posts will still go out, they just become harder to discover (as they will not show in any of the timelines.

Ideal solution - in my opinion, Unlisted posts as standard, plus maybe on Digest post per day (with a list of Toots made by the account that day), this being posted as "Public".

Image attached is from the moderators panel -- I just closed a report filled against one of the arXiv bot, accused of Spam.

@design_RG I am following arXiv however I agree, some sort of daily digest may be better to reduce the traffic a little.

I will check out if I see something interesting.

@zleap Thanks, Paul, that would be wonderful.

I hated to dump that bomb in the open, as Freemo is already loaded and he doesn't need more work added; and I can't do it either.

Gracias!

@design_RG I am mostly following the Physics arXiv.

If people want to check for any arXiv updates they just need to search for @arXiv anyway so its not really a problem for me.
