Personally I wish you wouldn't. Look what happened last time. Bots seem cool, whilst they are doing work for you but before you know it we will just be logging in to watch fake accounts talking to one another.
I think you should code a bot detector, which can then be used as a basis to goad them into a confined space that they believe is the real fediverse, and then watch their behaviour.
That will happen regardless
It reminded me of when Mastodon's offical client app added button to make account on
mastodon.socialinstance that all suddenly spambot just started to appear and for a bit which for a bit, other instances blocked it until they have sorted it out.
