What do you mean "yes you are"? I haven't made a personal statement above. But again I was asking for the mechanism by which WoT is easy to manipulate. Are you saying that bots pretending to be fun or useful in a certain context to get people to follow them and then "turning on them" is the mechanism to propagate fake mutes/bans and that these naturally get spread through the follower network too?

I'm asking because i wasn't aware that some of these actions would be automatically adopted if that's what is being discussed. In other words, I was aware that people couldn't get "into" my bubble without some connection to the WoT rather than the notion that if a few accounts *inside* of my WoT would make an unintentional ban/mute for someone that I may want to follow. I actually wouldn't like that behavior generally. People mute for simple opinion, a response, or just being disagreeable. That s a negative thing to "crowdsource" so cheaply, imo.
