one of my fav things to remember about mastodon is that there was a toggle you could check in your profile that said "this is a bot account" and put a little ๐ค or w/e next to your handle so people would know it's an automated account making automated posts
but furries/transhumanists/etc that identified with robot characters/being a robot started checking it so masto would say "this account is a bot," and like it's not against the rules, I'm glad they got their kicks, but also that tick is now useless for its intended function. so the computer-automated accounts with automated posts started putting "actually a bot" and shit in their descriptions
love my robot friends to death, it's just a funny thing
