[Solved] My account is labeled as a "bot account"?

3 years ago by lagged to c/datatermdigital

I was looking at a reply to my comment on !Selfhosted@lemmy.world and saw that next to my name there was the label "bot account". Does anyone have any thoughts around the cause?

Is this just what happens when you post a comment on a federated site or is it something to do with how I posted the comment? I am using the progress web app on Android for dataterm.digital

I don't know how to break it to you gently, but when you became a member here you were turned into a robot so you could become a real cyberpunk! /jk

Please have a look at https://dataterm.digital/settings if "Bot account" has been activated by mistake ;)
