Everyone should follow @altlink It's a service that DMs you a better link whenever you share a #Cloudflare link. Details: https://git.nogafam.es/deCloudflare/deCloudflare/src/branch/master/subfiles/service.altlink.md
@vesperto @altlink 1st of all it's normal for Mastodon admins to configure user accts to follow some accounts by default. Also, admins make their own rules for their server and if you don't like it, you go elsewhere. It's not overstepping because admins control the quality of msgs coming from their server. Think of it like an anti-spam policy.
@altlink @vesperto #Cloudflare links are socially irresponsible & detrimental, so a good admins seek to control them. The altlink bot is overly non-intrusive IMO. If I were an admin, I would do more to get CF links out of public view.
@resist1984 @altlink
Sounds pretty 1984ish to me...
@resist1984 @altlink noble? No, that would be overstepping their role as admin.
