There is no reason for a bot to be able to access or post on federated social networks if the goal is to make social media humane.

For this reason, bots should be heavily disallowed from posting content to or accessing content from federated social media.

    Unless this becomes a standard for the fediverse. I’m going to opt-out of fediverse social media altogether. Bots have no place in human based social media : full-stop.

      I understood this is the opinion and the request, but still don’t know what harm would be caused by a bot that posts sports team scores to a sports community? Assumed unwanted further bot influx is prevented. The ‘why’ is unclear for me in this case.
