@mastodonmigration As evident from their discussion in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1305 certainly there is a use case for small organizations or instances mostly serving bots (based on feeds). Also, instance admins has always been able to force all users follow a specific account (I know mstdn.ca does it often for announcements), so there is no change other than allowing admins to decide the format of the Bluesky handle. The bot follows them back so users are notified and can unfollow the bot as well.
