Personally I wish you wouldn't. Look what happened last time. Bots seem cool, whilst they are doing work for you but before you know it we will just be logging in to watch fake accounts talking to one another.
I think you should code a bot detector, which can then be used as a basis to goad them into a confined space that they believe is the real fediverse, and then watch their behaviour.
That will happen regardless
And you want to speed us down that road? You, and everyone else could just choose not to code any bots and turn the platform to liquid shit. The argument that if you don't do it then someone else will is probably true, but also not a very good reason to start the rot voluntarily.
