@evan Linux is proper name chosen by a Finn, so not really.

@evan We use one that is used by all the Finnish instances.

@evan That wouldn’t have helped in our case, because the person would still have been startled by what they thought was some kind of bot attack. They reported it to moderation and moderation handled it, which would have been what would have happened even with the ability to filter bots for individual users.

@evan That explains why we had a confused person thinking that they were under some kind of bot attack. We blocked the service after that.

@evan Did I understand correctly that it doesn’t work at all unless either the server admin (by adding it as a relay) or a user (by following a bot account) opts in? So it wouldn’t boost any of my posts since I (or the server admin) have not done either of those?

@jhattara Also, be sure to change your DNA if you were a 23andMe user.
