@julian @liaizon @cogdog I can't remember if Mastodon supports multi-typed actors. [Group, Service] would be reasonable!

@evan @liaizon @cogdog @julian this sounds like a good solution to me (but will wait for others to respond who have thought more about this). Perhaps we could piggyback on the "bot account" marker to identify "automated" boosts?

@evan @_followback @joe Evan: how many people do you think you need to be a big enough sample?

And maybe reach out to each big servers admin to ask them to follow?

@tchambers @joe great idea!

I think it's a really interesting question of how much of the Fediverse needs to be providing data to tags.pub.

I think this might be an interesting network science problem. I'll do some math and let you know!

@evan @_followback Seems like tags.pub automatically shares public tags, even without following. Followed anyway.

@sandwich on some servers, like mastodon.world, it's enabled by default. You can opt out by adding hashtag NoTagsPub to your bio.

@julian @liaizon @cogdog ok, I opened a ticket for this.
