on the one hand, I don't want to be a curmudgeon over folks having a little harmless fun. on the other, fuck no I do not consent to an unknown novelty bot reading my posts?!
wenchcoat system:
🍯 Akhra (or Melli to disambiguate), ratel.
🐲 Rhiannon, drangolin.
🦡 Lenestre, American badger.
unless tagged or otherwise obvious, assume 🍯🐲🦡 in chorus; even when that's not quite accurate, we will always be in consensus. address collectively as Akhra (she/her), or as wenchcoat (she/her or plural).

not directly, I've just seen that Parappa bot several times now and there's no indication it's opt-in, nor any apparent way to opt out other than just blocking it. and like, this one is harmless (beyond adding unpleasant noise to my feed because apparently quite a few people think it's cute and funny?) but the precedent is really bad.
Ahh okay, I hadn't seen it yet. Yeah, I'm not a fan of where this could go in the future.
