It’s a feature Piefed has. The idea is that if you were a bot, the operator would most probably not pay attention to DMs and not click the link. So after 24h the originating instance can mark your account as bot. AFAIK it does not federate between remote (not yours) instances

As someone that doesn't post on any piefed instance, why is it bothering me? I'm not on the fediverse to be tracked or authenticate myself. If I wanted that bullshit, I'd join Reddit, X or one of Meta's apps. There needs to be safeguards around features not harassing people. Especially people that don't even use their instance.
