These are public posts tagged with #followbot. You can interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
Mima-sama @mima@makai.chaotic.ninjaYet another new #ActivityPub implementation harassed out of the #fediverse because of privacy-freaks mistaking an AP first-class citizen for a "scraper". I guess fedi has not learned from the #ContentNation incident at all. Or maybe they don't really care, because it's not the "normal social media way", whatever the fuck that means. :ablobcateyeroll:
If these privacy-freaks are really serious about their "opt-in" they would've already suspended all instances of #Misskey, #Sharkey, and every other -key fork (I think #Iceshrimp, #Catodon, and #Firefish still has it but please correct me if I'm wrong) that has the "proxy account" feature (you can see this with @ghost@misskey.io for example). Because it is fundamentally the same damn thing as #Awakari's AP implementation does. They're both a kind of #followbot which will only follow you if someone from that instance or service needs a feed of your posts and nobody else has requested for a feed before.
But they won't suspend them because they're "mainstream" and "do it the normal social media way". Because of course, the fediverse is all about social media and microblogs, and if I don't understand how this new implementation works it must be dangerous! And Russian!!
Don't like follow bots? Fine, block them, announce if you feel like it and if nobody else who you can boost has done it yet. But don't mislead #fediadmins by saying it is a "scraper" and it "violates the GDPR" and all kinds of psuedolegal bullshit. You're just showing your ignorance. And don't be a fucking cop by reporting them to their ISP because that just makes you an asshole.

@CPlusPatch@social.linux.pizzaIn your opinion, it is okay to use a #followbot to see more people on your personal instance?
@nick@norden.social@gerhardbeck @Sorella554 @askfedi_de
Ein #Followbot dient in der Tat dazu, die #Föderation zwischen Instanzen anzukurbeln.
Die föderierte #Zeitleiste einer #Instanz zeigt nicht blind alles aus dem #Fediversum, sondern das, was auf dieser Instanz jemand gewissermaßen bestellt hat, in dem er oder sie Jemandem folgt.
Das tut auch ein Followbot. Der folgt Dir eine Weile, was bedeutet, daß Deine Instanz Deine Tröts an die Instanz des Bots föderiert.

@Crazypedia@pagan.plusDear new #mastoadmin,
One of the fastest ways to get yourself defederated is to use a #followBot for your instance. Go find a #relay
Fediblock recommend! Important!
@stux and to all in this thread
This #followbot was going to follow me as well, so I searched for what it stands for and found several recommendations to block it.
It was not really clear to me what it means to "block". After realising it I did block it too.
But since than I'm aware that blocking an account (what a bot finally is) or an instance does not saveguard you from being stalked or observed or surveyed by others for what reason ever.

Was hat das eigentlich mit diesen eigenartigen #Mastodon #FollowMe oder #FollowBot Accounts auf sich? Gerade mal wieder eine Kontaktanfrage von so einen Account bekommen (followme@bonn.social), wenn die mir nicht erklären, warum ich die Anfrage akzeptieren sollte, verwerfe ich die immer. https://friendica.xyz/display/adf174d5-155f-ebb3-538b-782437177106
