@mikebabcock @lisamelton @hypebot if someone doesn’t want their toots processed by that bot, they can use the #nobot hashtag in their profile. Or just block the user. I find that acceptable. Maybe their should be a native mastodon privacy setting for bot control, but as long as that doesn’t exist, I am personally fine with that.

@lisamelton I follow @hypebot which boosts me trending toots into my otherwise chronological timeline. That helps me to see stuff outside of my curated bubble.

The important part is, that this is MY decision and no one forces anything on me.
