@onreact @Jelv Organizations need that for communication. If we want Mastodon to grow up, we need that.
If you don't like automated toots (PS: me too), you can follow only people and not organization.
And the force with free software is that we can do what we want. Why not imagine a filter like "No automated toots"... 😉

@David @Jelv Yeah, I'm muting and unfollowing "people" on Twitter all the time already.

When Mastodon becomes just another bot playground there is no reason to use it instead of Twitter.

@onreact @David an distributed open source alternative moderated on instance level is more then reason enough to support Mastodon and there instances. You can look for an instance that blocks bots if you want to. Thats so great about Mastodon.

@onreact @David I dont mind the tool but I agree that pushing brand messages is unfolloworthy.

@Jelv @David Are you on Twitter? It's a tool by bots for bots now. It's really hard to find real people there because of all the automated noise.

@onreact @David btw I dont follow many brands, mostly people on the birdsite. That is a choice.
