I've been sober since January 2nd and the creator asked for mods because he made it when he wasn't sober and I messaged him I'd be a mod but he never replied. I was active on the subreddit
I sent a message to the mod because spacebar shows up as a bot on my browser. I think we need Ruud’s help.
What basis do you have for this? What do you mean "shows up as a bot"? Their history is no more suspect than your own, there's just less of it.
I wish everyone would just chill with this shit. It's been a week, we don't need hall monitors yet.
Jeezo, I just want to update the community description.
No offence, but you come across as a bit stressed.
This person is claiming you are a bot, and I am asking for evidence to support the accusation. There is nothing deeper here, but thanks for the diagnosis I guess.
Don't mistake colorful language for ire. Just because I said "shit" doesn't mean I'm upset. Imagine The Dude is reading my comment to you with a joint in the corner of his mouth; that's closer to the tone I had in my head (and it's not far off from the truth lol). It's all good, homie 🤙
It shows up on the desktop at work which is Edge browser next to username. But not on mobile safari. ___
So you blindly trust your browser rather than doing any investigation of your own? Maybe glance at the person’s profile next time, see if they behave like a bot before calling them out lol
I did read their posts and some don’t jive. Also if browsers are mislabeling users, that’s another issue.
Since when does Edge flag bots? I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. I can't find any information about anything that sounds even remotely close to a baked-in bot flagger in Microsoft Edge.
You said your work computer, do you know what extensions might be installed?
Lemmy has an option to mark an account as a bot under user settings, OP had a bot icon next to their username on all of their posts with a message that said the account was a bot. They have since disabled that setting for their account, so it no longer shows up, but you can see how someone could have jumped to the conclusion that the account was a bot (this icon won't show up on all Lemmy UIs, it's missing from the mobile website/Jerboa app, but it's shown on desktop). Anyway, no need to use such incendiary language, you may not be angry but it can easily come off as that over text.
I did and some of the post don’t add up either.
I think you replied to the wrong comment.
It shows up on edge browser next to username which is at work today. But not on mobile safari. Might be a glitch?
