I am convinced people don't look at those. At least the ones you WANT to look at them. I look at everyone who follows me and half the time it is beyond me why they did it or it's obvious it was because of some one-shot post.

You may want to add #NOAI #NOBOT to your profile to stops those who are compliant with the unoffical tag rule. Sorry it doesn't help with obnoxious boosting bots.

It seems that some people may need more informations about what followbot are and why I have one on this server.

First, feel free to block this bot if it annoys you.

Due to the nature of the fediverse it is hard for a single user instance or small instances to federate and get a diverse federated timeline.
An instance only gets posts from other instances that knows that it exists.
To fix that the different fediverse software servers have their solutions.
For Pleroma and Akkoma there are relays, but most of them are poor quality, badly moderated and depends on a remote admin to manage it.
The alternative to relays are followbots. It's a simple rule in pleroma's software that uses this account to request follows from unknown users on unknown instances.
It's supposed to follow #nobot. But it might fail to respect it. I didn't write the bots code and don't know how to fix it if it fail, sorry, block the bot I guess…

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."

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?

@MalthusJohn we allow bots on mas.to, but have very specific rules about how they can operate:

“All automated (bot) accounts must enable the bot flag in their account preferences, respect #nobot markers, and post as unlisted unless making less than one post per hour.”

So they’re easy to block and won’t flood your local timeline.

I’d say our moderation team is great, but, then, I’d be biased. 😉

Seriously, though. I think we do a pretty good job, and we’d love to have you.

Poll time (Multiple selection possible):
Should I make a "Summoned MIKU" bot that posts the "OOO-EEE-OOO" video to every post mentioning Hatsune Miku (and ofc respects the
#nobot flag)

And

Should I look into a bot that Markov-Chains Bible verses? (could be offensive to people who are Christians)
