Fuck off with these follow bots. Jesus fuck.
I was followed by four right in close succession to each other.

@luricaun I had it in my profile for a while but when I was hosting a masto instance as well as this one, there's a lot of bots that ignore the nobot tag.
@luricaun Having it in my profile doesn't solve the problem of them just crawling and following other people on my instance. :|
@sina
I see and you are right. This won't change the fact.
I have no idea how to solve that problem though. Maybe some devs can help you with that.
@luricaun I have a hacky solution of using keyword detection on names and profiles. It still occasionally lets ones through though, which use themed names or only imply that they're a federation bot. :|
@luricaun But I'm also sort of hesitant about this way because I know it'll inevitably block some actual people, too, and I don't want that. (I have a "morning digest" sent to my email to let me know of what names were blocked, so I can unblock any people manually, but ideally I wouldn't need to do this.)
@sina
I get your frustration. Ideally you should not have to do this at all. It would be nice if there was an automated feature for this.
Well I hope there will be a more convenient way in the future for this.
