followbot writers: how about you choose a hashtag that people can put in their bio that implies consent to be put on random FTLs.
we all fucking hate opt-out bullshit from advertisers, companies, etc. and you're just replicating their bullshit.
Sorry I must have misunderstood you, but I see what you're saying now. That totally makes sense, yes.
The question is whether bot-operators wouldn't just ignore that, though.
@fribbledom bad-actor bot operators would be blocked, as is the situation now when they break #nobot in many cases.
@fribbledom @rachel they wouldn't for fear of an instance block on everywhere
@fribbledom #nobot is opt-out, the wrong way to do it.
we should instead be having something like #yesbot so it is opt-in.
ignorance to a situation is not consent.
