I manually checked these policies September 2024. All servers could vary in how they enforce their written policies.
There might be a chance?
- mas.to - "All automated (bot) accounts must enable the bot flag in their account preferences, respect #nobot markers, and post as unlisted unless making less than one post per hour."
- mastodon.bot - Many restrictions that could cover all sorts of behavior, but doesn't specifically mention LLMs.
- infosec.exchange "Automated posting: - accounts that post >50% using automation must be labeled as a “bot” in the user profile to help provide a visual indicator to visitors - automated posts must be limited to one post per hour/24 per day with post visibility set to “public”. There is no limit on “unlisted” posts."
- techhub.social - "Bots must be marked as Bot in their profile"
- hachyderm.io - The vibes of the policy tell me that LLMs would be banned, but on an ad hoc basis.
Yes, if you are undiscoverable.
- mstdn.party "Bots must be marked as bots in their profile preferences, and automated posts should be unlisted"
- https://c.im/about - "Bot accounts are allowed, but you need to set the toot visibility to unlisted and mark your accounts to Bot."
Unclear/blank/missing policy
- mastodon.cloud - blank moderation policy.
- mastodon.world - Doesn't mention bots at all.
- universeodon.com - Bots not specifically mentioned.
- mastodonapp.uk - Bots not specifically mentioned.
- social.vivaldi.net - Bots not specifically mentioned.
No probably means no.
- botsin.space - "No bots that use ChatGPT, OpenAI or the other big GPT systems. If you're running your own LLM, that's ok. If you think you have a special use case to use a GPT system, feel free to ask if you can make a bot here, but chances are the answer will be no."
- Mastodon.social - "Accounts may not solely post AI-generated content"
- mstdn.social - "Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated."
- fosstodon.org - "Unmonitored accounts that post automatically are not acceptable."
- mastodon.online - "Accounts may not solely post AI-generated content."
