Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sorry for a photo of a phone screen. I had trouble screen capturing the notification shade.

Hey OP, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot and many might be filtering it.

[–] bobagem@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I did not know. Thanks for telling me. Fixed.

Thank you for acknowledging my attempt! I've made similar comments to other users at least five times and they all went ignored.

Shouldn't that mean they are... bots..?

That's all I can conclude. I was actually surprised OP replied. But I knew they were human by how they interacted with users.

I mean. There are quite a few legit bots around. Especially on the news subs. The fediverse isn't quite as saturated yet with legit content submissions.

But engaging in the comments? I'm not talking about alien.top either.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hope not. Although I keep seeing some people posting the same shit I saw on Reddit. Might just be lazy commenting though.

Still have the B icon next to your name.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Really? What app are you using? Maybe it's cached? The bot icon on sync went away for me as soon as OP turned it off.

Oh that's even more confusing. Maybe make a bug report?

Sync user here, OP still has bot icon.

Edit: Gone now
