We don't allow followbots, and we're on a "no bots, please" list already.

Followbots are generating some controversy because folks seem to find them creepy; you can use
#nobotin your profile to block them but only if they're well-behaved, also I've asked the whole instance to be added to a block list for the moment.Once again, erring on the side of caution, personally it seems kind of gray zone to me but best to make users feel comfortable at least while the community is young.
