my prevailing theory is that i lost my badge because i interact with too many bots.

building bots is kinda my thing rn…so perhaps we need to distinguish between interesting and non-interesting bots?

i propose: the Bot Badge™

you shouldn’t be penalized for interacting with badged bots.

discuss.

10,000 % agree. Bot badge is an interesting idea. What would make a bot worthy of a badge?

“interestingness” is the prevailing term used by dwr for human accounts…which i quite like.

perhaps based on interactions/follows from reliable human accounts?

i think the bones of the power badge model aren’t bad, tbh, just need iteration…

100%! i will be looking into this ASAP, good looks

the feed should be preserved for other uses most of the time imo, current bot implementations (my own included) were necessitated due to the protocol/API limitations

Some of these problems with "bot spam" in feed will be solved with the programability of DCs for bot notifications. Developers can ensure only high-quality content gets posted by bot in-feed.
