A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Not sure if this is the same on every instance, but on my profile there's an option for "show bot accounts"
Just uncheck that bad boy and self-identified bot accounts don't even show up.
It's a standard lemmy feature, yes.
... that this bot doesn't respect.
It shows a B in the screenshot and a bot icon on my client next to the username that says it's a bot so I assume it must be identifying itself as a bot.
the bot has been marked as bot since the very beginning and is also clearly marked as bot in the screenshot as @[email protected] already mentioned.
i also just checked on db0 in case there was some federation issue that would have the account not be marked as bot over there and it's also clearly marked as bot when viewed on db0.
Ah... I've heard more than one person saying they can see it despite having blocked bots and not seeing other bots. Sounds like there's a technical issue somewhere.
