Hachiderm's policy borderline "bot can only broadcast". So Riker Googling would probably pass, but an LLM bot like activist probably wouldn't.
Transparency
- Mark account as bot in profile.
- Optionally add #bot tag to each post, or other indication that it is AI generated.
- If hosted on Hachiderm, add #hachybots to all posts.
Activity and server load
- Post at most 1 post per hour. (Most common limit)
- 5 scheduled posts per day (Hachiderm's policy)
- Posts more often than 1 per hour should be unlisted.
- Don't reply to a thread forever. (Hachiderm calls this a "doom spiral")
Degree of automation
- No "uncurated news bots posting from third-party news sources"
- Don't post without a human approving what the LLM has generated.
Interactions
- Don't follow accounts marked with #nobot
- "Bots cannot respond to hashtags, keywords, etc. without being tagged - e.g. bots that respond to user posts based on keywords and similar." Hachiderm's policy.
Moderation and compliance with other, non-bot specific rules
- Bot should fetch server policy interaction accounts and hosting server and have a 2nd bot check if LLM content is compliant.
- A bot should publish a profile page somewhere with its code of conduct, especially the verifiable parts (e.g. a report of posting frequency, etc.)
