   It's my understanding that these newly federated #Flipboard accounts are all automated.

   Shouldn't they be tagged as such at the profile level?

   Just curious.

     @toddalstrom @FinchHaven @Gargron This is something we discussed quite a bit internally. These are all real accounts operated by live teams. During this test phase each of these accounts will ultimately decide how much or how little automation to use. If they are fully automated and unmonitored we will encourage the account owners to signify as such.

     @FinchHaven @mike @Gargron Flipboard having an account on Threads doesn’t really have anything to do with Flipboard offering federation to their scores of user accounts and if they should be tagged as automated or not.

     They should be, but they won't be, because our boy Gargron loves him his exciting new content

     Besides, Flipboard is on Threads, so…
