      It means that you are a bot. For example like Reddit’s automod or all the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings quote bots or also unit converter bots.

      And it seems like the first people are already trying to misuse the label.

        Do you have to do something special to truly make your account a bot? Like give it a function it can do as a bot? (I’m not trying to make this account a bot though)

    Your username now have ‘bot account’ attached to it, and other people can choose not to see your posts by deselecting ‘show bot accounts’.

    Attach your favorite AI to a new bot account, and let it curate all the communities you miss from Reddit.
