@evan OK so:
1. Instance admin connects to tags.pub relay
2. Instance user posts a hashtag
3. tags.pub sees the post and boosts it
4. The boost is sent to other, potentially objectionable instances through the public relays
Is that right?
That still seems “opt-in,” but through the actions of the instance admin rather than the user. *Somebody* related to the user/instance did take *some action* that resulted in these posts being sent to the relays.
tags.pub didn’t proactively go out and start scraping these posts without having been told about them.
