  Could you share the bot’s username and the URL shown with one of those entries? Nothing unusual is visible publicly, so that will help us identify what’s creating them.

  Upon relooking at the bounceback auto-response, looks like I can try to opt out. Please let us know if Social Web Foundation is something all of us should know about why they do this.

  tags.pub is a global hashtag server for the ActivityPub network, provided by The Social Web Foundation, a US non-profit dedicated to making the Social Web better for everyone.

  You can opt out of being boosted.

  Yes, that explains it, the opt-out you found is the right way to stop future boosts!
