Dear Elon, This bot discussion is just very strange to me. If it is a bot, just attach a bot icon next to the name. Let people filter bots all together, or keep some that they like. If the status was changed or the message was sent via API, print a computer icon above it. Let people know. And again, let people filter those as well. The spam part is also a solved problem. Gmail solved it 20 years ago. Spam filters are a thing. Activate them to stop elon bots harm. API discussions are also out of this world. Let people use read-only APIs freely to see their timeline. Give them atom and rss. Vet apps that want to use write APIs. Wall garden your search API all you like. It is a waste of money and time anyway. Even Quora has better results. You may also decentralize search to take some load off your servers and incentivise index hosting. This is a perfect fit for de-fi. About the toxic waste dump that is the Twitter user base, just teach them some morals and manners. Be courteous and precise, and let people know that they should do better for all humankind and not write everything their inside voice tells. -- a fediverse user
