He's running a news curation business.

Not everything automated is spammy or scammy. Intent, transparency and delivery are important.

Anyone can add a "bot:true" tag to their profile, as well. I also build bots, for release notes and testing and stuff, but they're going to be labeled and our clients will display that label in the npub profiles.

Labels for bots is a great idea.

sry nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks but i don't like lists or labels that cause div. confusion & or harm{Pen is a good dude imho} but wdik/idk but i don't really matter 4 the future is on *U* youngrz but C probz w/sum bro. th@z y i engage/discuss & i hope *U* r cool with th@/

This is to avoid confusion. It's not a label applied to others. The creator of a bot can label it as such themselves for clarity, so people know what they are interacting with.

It's part of the kind 0 profile, so the npub has to give it to themself.

You are misunderstanding Rand. This comment is about people being able to self label the bots they create. Not about labeling others.

I created this original thread to warn people of possible scammy behavior. I feel it was justified, and the user it was about has already committed to changing that behavior, and we have had real conversations. I think it's a win overall 🤙

i followED your line bro & waz fine until i saw sum on your list but i get IT & don't doubt your good intention/i don't hav a prob w/bots but most don't have my focus or time/i t *Y* 4 yourz/*****

It wasn't a list of people who I thought were bots Rand 😅 it was a list of people I follow who I was worried had been taken advantage of by a scammer, and I was letting them know, for their own good. I think you misunderstand the intentions of my note.

I felt boniz23 was using strange tactics, and made this note to warn others. I wasn't saying everyone in the list was a bot 😂 In the time since boniz23 has agreed to stop said tactics, so I consider it a closed thread. All is well Rand, I wouldn't worry about it.

cool & i saw th@ also Y i waz & still on your side t *Y* aGAIN*****

Cool 🤙

1 last thing 4 now Ryan, know th@ i am on yoursidE brother but wary of labelz even tho i know guidance is needED/

Good to know!
