I use Thunder as my preferred client for Lemmy and anytime I comment I see a bot “flair”. I am a human using the internet via a VPN (Mullvad) that oft gets flagged for spam. I can comment and post but not vote.

    happy cake day! (is that what it called on the cooler side of the fence?)

    never heard of it so I think no? plus I used to be able to vote then suddenly I lost said privilege.

        ah I’m dumb. I recall going into acc settings on Thunder and enabling “show bot accounts” and clicked on “bot” while I was at it. lmao (:

          Don’t worry. I legit did the same thing when I had a lemmy account. Although I realised quickly it was about making /me/ a bot account, rather than showing other bot accounts.
