If you see an account marked with the "Automated" or "Bot" tag, this does not mean anything bad! This tag can only be added by the owner of the account, so it is almost always used to mark good useful bots run by honest people. Bad bots usually *do not* use this tag, because the creators of bad bots usually don't want to reveal that they are bots. More info and questions answered about the "Automated" tag in the guide: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/why-are-some-accounts-marked-bot-on-mastodon #FediTips #Bots

@rperezrosario@mastodon.social I think you might enjoy browsing https://bots.stefanbohacek.com And I'd also like to link to https://botwiki.org/bots/fediverse-bots/ but a lot of the bots are no longer active due to some of the platforms that used to host them. Very unfortunate! But you might have some luck with the most recently added ones! https://botwiki.org/new/#bots

Krass: Im Internet sind mehr Maschinen als Menschen unterwegs Gemeint ist damit, dass auf sozialen Medien, in Foren oder sonstigen Websites gefühlt (!) immer mehr Interaktionen durch Bots und künstliche Intelligenzen gesteuert werden. 🔗 https://www.chip.de/news/Krass-Im-Internet-sind-mehr-Maschinen-als-Menschen-unterwegs_185781645.html #KI #AI #Bots #Internet

To keep #OpenStreetMap.org up and running while we're being deluged by scrapers, we've blocked 320,000+ primarily residential IPv4 addresses in the last 24 hours (+ 100,000 IPv6) involved in scraping. If you need OSM data, please don't scrape the website - use the official downloads at https://planet.openstreetmap.org 🙏🌍 #AI #Bots #Abuse

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse
