Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just... Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.

Hello,

I see you are a new account, feel free to join [email protected] , we have a lot of those threads

It's not a new account. It's a serial ban evader who is on like his 6th account because he keeps getting banned from asklemmy for acting like an incel

This makes so much sense. This person sounds insufferable on so many levels.

Every time he posts, he responds to every reply being dismissive and shitty. He literally can't say the words "woman" or "relationship" without adding on "which I will never get to experience". Whenever anyone tries to give him actionable advice like therapy or ways to improve his mindset, he shuts them down.

No thank you bot

Dude did you just call Blaze a bot

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They're not a bot, just a very zealous mod trying to keep traffic and posts happening in some smaller communities.

Most lemmy apps and front ends also identify bot accounts with a bot icon next to the username.

Sync does this. Although I think it might not be too accurate, because I think I've seen one or two actual accounts with the bot icon

It's a setting you can change in your lemmy profile, and having the bot setting turned on doesn't stop you from posting manually.

I'm not sure if it goes the other way around though so bad-faith bot posts pretending to be real people could probably still happen if the bot setting is never enabled.

Edit: just to be clear Blaze is definitely not a bot but I don't think bots necessarily have to have the bot icon.
