Dustin (nprofile…wnez) would you say ots_nbot (npub1z4d…j7rz) qualifies as a DVM or not? Shouldn't that kind of thing also be considered a DVM?
What about a thing like https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bpkpvmwpd3nr2ry4btt55ack? I think the way Bluesky did this "labeler" stuff is interesting in a way: the DVM is just a "bot".
The bot should have a kind:0 profile and it can even post notes sometimes, perhaps advertising their services.
Some bots respond to kind:1 commands, others respond to kind:5001 commands, some send DMs, others publish content when prompted, others do it without being prompted.
If multiple people are running bots that behave similarly -- or if we expect that to happen -- it's time to standardize their behavior, otherwise there is no point.
There are tons of bots out there, I'd say some will never qualify as a DVM because they're just shitposting (which is good), but some are posting weather data, others are posting bitcoin data. It would be nice if bots publishing weather data could be standardized as DVMs, for example. I don't know bitcoin data, but what do I know?
I don't have a very concrete plan.
