Metadata is public and my DMs are full of bots, mostly.
Discussion
I get nefarious bots sometimes but using Amethyst helps sort people I follow (Known tab) vs those i dont (New Requests tab).
Without DMs the bots that I have that allow for configuration and reporting wouldnt otherwise work without polluting public/global space as kind 1 notes.
What this tells me is we could possibly benefit by more tools around web of trust, and for clients that support DMs to do better organizing/filtering
Until then, the option to just toggle off that functionality, maybe with a custom auto-reply, would be nice.
