Y'know, the #nobot convention is the wrong way to do it. It allows bot followers unless actively prohibited.

It should really be #yesbot--that is, bots are not allowed to follow unless you EXPLICITLY allow them.

Privacy should always be the default.

@pagrus I found it charming how the early Twitter bots would @ people unsolicited with random goofy things. I kind of want there to be a #yesbot tag here to opt in to stuff like that... but it seems like that would mostly just encourage all the scraper bots

Here's me trying to create participation. 'Your Instant Online Learning Community' slides, audio and video. https://www.downes.ca/presentation/545

Our first issue shows the web’s potential to redistribute power and interoperate with other regenerative human systems.

They also challenge universalist views of technology, how locally-situated networks can give voice and agency to the marginalized. https://one.compost.digital/

If someone posts something that breaks your instance's rules, you can report them to your instance admin. The admin will then decide what action to take, such as a warning or a ban.

Click on the "..." underneath the message you want to report, select "Report", make sure at least one message is selected and click "Submit".

If they are from another instance, there's also an option to report the person to their own instance admin too, who can delete the account.
