       @dr1ft if everyone started doing this maybe federation bots would fuck off because they would start defeating the purpose

       @headachebooth probably because I did literally defederate with that instance because someone said they were doing shady shitoperating a follow bot multiplies my chances of blocking your instance by 3x

       @v0idifier regardless, you have never needed relays nor federation bots to populate the ftl. ive never used either and have had no issues.

       @dr1ft I don't mind federation bots, but are they outdated now that we have relays with v2.5.0+, or are there some things federation bots can do that relays still can't yet?

       @djsumdog federation bots can do nothing that simply migrating your follows from your old account this do besides making admins and users angry
