When an opted out user tries to use BF, DM them an alert
Hit a case recently where someone had #nobot
in their profile bio, which BF interpreted as them opting out, but may not have been their intent. They tried to follow a BF-bridged account, and got confused when it didn't work.
When this happens, we could consider having BF DM them from a service account to say, hey, you're opted out right now so we're not doing anything, here's how to undo that if you didn't intend it and want to use the bridge after all.
Heard from the user here: as expected, they hadn't intended #nobot
to block bridges after all. Should we drop #nobot
and only use nobridge
to opt out?
