   @BeAware @admin1 I also reported and blocked the original poster.

   The bot doesn't repost everything automatically. There's a human moderator who let that hateful message go through.

   • BeAware repeated this.

     Please block/report @bookstodon it's gone full Nazi, reposting messages like "f*ck the j*ws."

     Why can't we have nice things.

     @aram is there? I was under the impression that every a.gup.pe bot was just that, a bot that reposts posts that it's tagged in.

     @aram it just automatically reposts when it's tagged, it doesn't read the posts. That would need AI and we know how everyone feels about that.

     @BeAware I don't know for certain but I have inferred it from the fact that I've tagged that bot multiple times in the past (I'm an author and I talk a lot about books) and sometimes the messages get reposted and sometimes they don't.

     But even if it IS fully automated... we should block bots that aren't configured to weed out Nazi and other hateful content.
