On one instance i'm on, it's connected to the relay of tag push. So there it happens too.
So your admin WANTS to have it that way.
So you can, as a member of the instance, opt-out.
i wouldn't call it abuse, as it does what the admin of your instance wants.
And you can even opt-in, if your instance is not using the relay.

I think it's a beautiful service. But I do understand that it annoys you. i had the same feeding in the beginning.
Just opt-out if you don't like it.
Haa your admin announced it?

@joergi @cazabon > I think it's a beautiful service

How? Following tags is something you can already do as a core part of AP. It's the single most useless "service", and I say this on a network full of markov bots

No it is not.

Especially on small, unknown instances it makes a difference.

@joergi @cazabon yeah, very useful when half the fediverse is defederating instances with dumb shit like that

@reiddragon
So how else you want to push all the unknown services to the other instances? The tagpush.app and tags.pub help there.
To be honest: i wasn't aware that tags.pub uses also relays for subscription, see https://socialwebfoundation.org/2026/06/28/unsubscribing-tags-pub-from-open-registration-relays/ . I'm not sure when this was added , but now it's removed.
@evan - was this newly introduced (and now removed) or how did all the conversation started now and not like month ago? Thx for your feedback

Thx for the information.
I really don't understand, why so many have a problem with it.
I like the service, (if I wouldn't, I would remove it from my instance / block it on my account)

I really hope Dan will implement the relay function in Pixelfed too.
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4472
Should the manual subscription for boosting work in theory with a pixelfed Account?
At least for me it isn't. It should automatically accept it and follow, correct?

@joergi no, there's a problem with how we use cryptographic signatures. It's on my list to fix!
