How does everyone miss the part that hexbear is intending to build bots that mass vote and troll other instances and their communities by exploiting the way federation works?
What the duck is wrong with people. They explicitly said they were building a bot network that couldn’t be blocked except through defederation… I feel like I’m taking crazy pills
Don’t make bots to break other instances and destroy their communities. Problem solved. You won’t get banned or defederated.
Edit: my source is the announcement post. Half of the linked comments for justification were about brigading and bots.
Edit2: it looks like most of the hexbear comments about brigading and bot building were deleted or made private. I don’t have the energy to go through their modlog.
