Astonishing that I come across this convo on Mastodon -- it exactly parallels one taking place on @evanprodromou's Github
Prodromooo is #MrMaxiFedi and there is nothing he won't promo to push the #Fediverse larger and larger at anyone's expense
Of course I can't see exactly who/what you're replying to because Evan has me #Blocked
Seems he doesn't like what I have to say…

I pushed two changes to #tagspub today to help with opting out.
The first is if you add the #NoTagsPub or #NoBot or #NoBots hashtags in your profile to opt out. tags.pub was caching profile data for 30 minutes by default, which meant that if you tested right after you added the tag, it would still boost. Now, it's down to the default cache length for Mastodon, 3 minutes. You still have to wait a few minutes after a change, but it's shorter.

cc @evan relating to earlier #TagsPub discussion we had on the matter.
This bot is already combining logic, has multiple 'profle logic' tags. Dunno if "NoBots" is also already common protocol-decaying practice.
Maybe a solution might be that an #ActivityPub bot actor - OT: which I'd personally perhaps had chosen to be Application, not Service actors - would have a botFlags property. Simple to implement, and #FEP that.
More involved but also much more versatile might be a "Botiquette" as:Profile, or even a bots:Botiquette type, and a namespace to register them at, and where others may find what they mean and how they operate exactly.

Introducing tags.pub
tags.pub is a new service under development by the Social Web Foundation. It is a global hashtag server -- it lets you follow a hashtag across the Fediverse. There's lots of information on the tags.pub home page, and I (Evan) did a talk about tags.pub at FOSDEM 2026. This blog post answers some basics about tags.pub. To follow a hashtag globally, search for a user with that name at tags.pub, like @example for the #example hashtag. Follow that account, and it will share all the […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/03/17/introducing-tags-pub/
