@muffinista thank you for your time and energy and the wonderful space we got to play in!!
do you or anyone else have any recommendations for where a bot could live after this?
@kayserifserif thank you! I don't know of another bot-specific instance offhand. If people have suggestions I'm happy to boost that
@muffinista @kayserifserif The only one that I know about that seems currently active is https://mastodon.bot.
I am also wondering if I should move my bots to my own server, or create a separate one, and potentially share with others.
Lots to consider!
@stefan Maybe bots can try to find a home near their followers, by using https://data.stefanbohacek.dev/projects/fediverse ?
@nemobis Good idea! Definitely makes sense to spread the load.
@stefan A feature I've always wished is sorting the top instances by normalised count/concentration. So for example eupolicy.social would be first for me because it's 2 % of my contacts but my contacts are 4 % of their total accounts. (This could help bots find their language communities etc.)
@nemobis Interesting idea!
Do note that you can download the raw data, if that helps in the meantime!
