If you see an account profile marked "Automated" or "Bot", it doesn't mean anything bad!

The "Automated" label is activated by account owners who want to let people know that they aren't monitoring the replies to their posts, usually because a bot is running it.

Accounts that use this label are "good bots", providing useful services such as weather updates or interactive games. Bad bots simply wouldn't use the label at all.

Are these accounts with "automated" written on their profiles?

@FediTips
oh, it was from the past. And I hardly remember . I would guess it wasn't automated.

Just asking as some people assume blank accounts are bots, but sometimes accounts may look blank even when they aren't:

@FediTips @enigma ... And some are nervous lurkers! I lurked for a few weeks before actually replying to someone.

Glad you got up the courage 👍

But lurking is fine too if people prefer it 🙂

A good bot may read reples. You never know.
