@MichalBryxiMichal Bryxí also they provide a means to opt-out, add #NoBots to your bio (which to be fair, if you don't want automated stuff is a pretty common thing - most well ran ones respect that so may have other upside for you)

If your server is providing data to tags.pub, and you don't want your content to be boosted by tags.pub accounts, you can add the #NoTagsPub hashtag to your account bio. (If you've already got a #NoBots hashtag in your account bio, we'll also skip any boosts.)
