@RGrunblatt Now I'm wondering how I'd even do this.
I can use Wikidata to make a list of individuals vs. non-individuals. (Not sure it's worth it.)
Setting the bot flag doesn't seem supported by my crossposter:
https://gitea.robertoszek.xyz/robertoszek/pleroma-bot/src/branch/master/config.yml.sample
I don't see an option in the CLI:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#accounts-modify
So I'd probably need to change the flag directly in the database. 😬
@RGrunblatt Interesting distinction, so you think I should do this first of all for accounts in the name of individuals? (They're mostly MEPs and former MEPs.) It's an idea. I'm also not exposing those on the account directory, so they're already treated differently.
@RGrunblatt BTW just now I'm shutting down several accounts, which will be redirected to their equivalents on #EUvoice. This might reduce the volume of non-compliant posts you get.
@RGrunblatt I'm not personally against it, and I don't like that I'm currently not in compliance with your instance rules. I just have no idea of the effects of the change, so I'm a bit uncomfortable about it.
I'd like to reduce the replies from people who think the person might be reading them. But I'm not sure that someone who doesn't read the bio would read and understand the bot flag.
Besides, is https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission a bot too, under your definition? (Did it ever post something manual?)
@RGrunblatt I see your instance has a rule (6) that adopts this definition of bot. That's definitely your prerogative.
https://social.sciences.re/about/more
I'd be willing to adapt to this rule but what if other instances have incompatible rules? Do you know of other instances using the same rule?
@RGrunblatt I see. How widespread is this view of what is a bot?
«Enabling the bot flag will add a bot icon to your profile. This icon will let others know that your profile may perform automated actions, or might not be monitored by a human», says https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#bot .
Because people seem to have vastly different concepts of what "bot" means, so far I thought it better to explicitly state in the bio what these accounts are. What benefit does the "bot" flag offer?
@RGrunblatt So you call "bot" every account which crossposts a human's account?
@RGrunblatt Thanks for asking. In what sense are they bots?
@bartdeganck Yes, ideally every MEP would directly run an official account somewhere in the fediverse, but we're not there yet. Some parties/political groups set up their own instances, so they aren't under europa.eu either, but they can use some domain registered officially by them.
#ResPublicae accounts can be redirected to the official ones when they're created.
Today in confusing reports: a post about the EU budget was deemed a "fundraiser" by some user. I would never have guessed that without a comment.
Interesting week... We're now well over 20,000 followers across all accounts (not unique).
Some accounts have seen their followers increase tenfold in a couple days.
We clearly need more #ResPublicae posts/media to be marked as sensitive. I've taken action on one account. Later I'll survey the most followed accounts, see if this needs to be done instance-wide or on a case by case basis.
(Thanks for reporting graphic images of animal abuse, blood!)
Once again, folks, please use the comment field when reporting a user. If you report a post about the latest apple harvest numbers, without any explanation, there's not much this #MastoAdmin can do to guess why.

@federationstream@mstdn.social Thanks. We have some 5k retries queued, should I just delete them to give you a break?
Update: the object storage grew to some 500 GB but the costs are still around 25 €/month. CPU and memory are still quite overprovisioned.
Followers of #ResPublicae accounts have doubled over the last week or so amid the #TwitterMigration.
@CopernicusEU remains in the top 3. @EUClimateAction has sped up to overcome @EU_Commission, @vonderleyen, @europarl_en and @EU_Eurostat.

@je5perl @kik1 @joris Alright, I'm trying. Let's start from #ResPublicae: it's only me so it can't be too hard, can it?

@Labruunt I'm sorry we didn't live up to your expectations. There is interaction, among the people on the fediverse who decide to use communicate about the posts here.
Also, eventually we hope that every account will be replaced by an official one, so we can transfer followers. With the mirror https://respublicae.eu/@Senficon we helped hundreds of users eventually find the official account https://chaos.social/@senficon when it was created.
Someone reported that there's "political propaganda" on this instance. Quelle surprise! Political propaganda is what politicians and political institutions like the EU exist for.
Even the European Commission and the European Parliament are not neutral sources for the question "how good are you and your policies/actions?".
The source is clearly identified, so this is white propaganda:
