I think it’s just pulling from the frontpage?

    If you have a hashtag in your title, the bot’s post will be parsed by Mastodon as having used that hashtag. I’m not sure how I feel about this since most hashtags in post titles are ironic or sarcastic.

        You can always just blacklist them from Nginx (or whatever public facing server you use) if they start posing a real problem. Especially bots from a company, since they’re usually from their corporate IP range, so if you can track that down, then you should be good.
