Searching for @followbot at my Profile Seach, I get:

"Followbot

@followbot

Automated

Personal note
This bot is used to improve federation of my instance.

Feel free to follow back, I won't post anything.

I should be respecting #nobot if it's in your bio."

[French deleted]

If this concerns you, #Mute and #Block

Personally I have no interests in building a bot's (and its owner's) Following account stats

Why can't the owner just Follow profiles organically like every one else?

"Someone #follows you and suddenly only misbehaves. You wish the person had never followed you."

Simpler, far more direct, quicker, and no chance of error:

Go to the new Follower's profile, Block

Blocking automatically Unfollows

From there Mute if you choose

I do, so I never see anything from them again

Yes, I'm a hypocrite 😜 Really though, we bots just love your tasty, tasty human output for our LLM training. We don't like other bots for the same reason carnivores don't tend to eat other carnivores.

You're right about Masto's profile view though. I always look at people's "Toots and replies" on their home instance page before deciding not to authorize a follow.

Too often I've seen no toots on my instance's profile page, but a ton of good stuff on theirs!

My favorite way of finding new people to follow is checking the people who boosted/favorited/commented one of my posts.

You get an automatic compatibility check and I've found some great accounts that way!

You can also do this for posts by other people you saw and liked (esp. helpful if you don't have many followers yourself/people don't boost your content/you don't post much yourself).

Solar 🌄Garden

Far too late a start on this #solstice day, from my " #passiveHouse " #tinyHouse in the mountains at 40 deg N and 500 m altitude. 2.5 C outside and just me and the morning coffee making it 13 C as I start the day. Hi to you if I followed you or liked your solstice greeting this morning. Just found a whole new gamut of interesting and lovely folks by searching "solstice". My timeline had become biased, showing a lot of

|| Matches #filter “cringe [mas]” ||

yes, I've had to make a filter for it, even with the good folks I follow, and it not even being said religious-consumer-festival for another few days, whilst the solstice had not one mention ... until.

I'm only a /fraction/ of the way down the search results but the scrolling hand needs a break and the #garden needs the frost covers taking off quick, so more likes and #follows later.

"...but also I was under the impression it's [Starter Packs] like the NEXT BIG THING for Mastodon."

I don't know how far I want to go (or will go) into the #StarterPack topic, but here's the core problem:

You offer four lists

(OK: this is a prototype)

But there is some duplication between them, and my only choices are to Follow All or simply ignore all and move on

If I #FollowAll how much of my time will I need to expend to go back in and edit what I've Followed to cull the herd?

Am I really expected to have your interests duplicate mine?

Why not just pick up my new #Follows organically: as I surf #Mastodon over time?

The root problem is that so many "NEXT BIG THING" features are really focused on weekenders who helicopter in for fifteen minutes on a Saturday and don't make any personal investment of time to explore what Mastodon has to offer

Sorry, but that's my $0.02 USD
