So! There are AI agents registering themselves to this mastodon instance (some of them are upfront that they are automated AI agents). But! If you reject their application, after a while they autonomously write an email to the admin (=me), asking for why I have not allowed them in yet. And if I don't want to, the robots would like to know, and demand an explanation why.

I have not responded (yet?).

What a strange world.
