  • GoToSocial is just another Fediverse software that works with multiple users like any other. The difference is really only that it is tuned more towards smaller instances and as a result is easier to set up and maintain. It also assumes most people will be using a mobile app with it anyways and thus the built in webclient is very bare bones. It does work fine with external webclients like Phanpy though.

    So they are complaining that their bots would be invisible, because on Twitter the algorithm would down-rank such bot spam hard and have the same effect? That person clearly has no clue what they are talking about and just wants to abuse a public instance for their pet project 🙄

    Edit: finished reading the article… good riddance that they are gone. What a self-centered and toxic person 🤦

    Eh? They were flooding the local timeline with bot posts for sunset etc times for many different locations, meaning likely several bot posts per hour edit: looking at the actual list of locations it was probably one per minute or so. That would get them banned on pretty much any instance.

    By their words: “Not worth the effort” to run your own instance my ass… don’t abuse a gratis public service with bot spam.
