<![CDATA[Unsubscribing tags.pub from Open Registration Relays]]>A relay server is a server that collects public content from many Fediverse servers and distributes it to the other servers. tags.pub , the global hashtag server run by the Social Web Foundation, can follow relay servers and boost any tagged content coming from the connected servers. Especially for relay servers that gather together content from lots of small servers, this can help connect people with others who share their interests on the Fediverse.

However, some people have said they were surprised by the boosts, since they hadn’t directly connected their server to tags.pub. To avoid this, tags.pub is now unsubscribed from the open registration relay servers it was previously using. If your content is no longer being boosted, you can still connect your account or your server directly to tags.pub. tags.pub may subscribe to relay servers in the future, but we’ll coordinate with the relay server admins first to make sure there are fewer surprises.

Admins configure them so their users' content goes further, and so their users have more content to read.

An open registration relay is one that any server can join without permission.

If your server is connected to an open registration relay, all your public content is shared with every server on that relay.

So what does this mean then exactly (genuinely don't know)?

Seems to me like the criticized behaviour of the bots was corrected?
