    I’m mostly in favor of leaving the comment-clogging bots back on reddit where they can all talk to each other without me.

      Not sure if this is the same on every instance, but on my profile there’s an option for “show bot accounts”

      Just uncheck that bad boy and self-identified bot accounts don’t even show up.

          It shows a B in the screenshot and a bot icon on my client next to the username that says it’s a bot so I assume it must be identifying itself as a bot.

          the bot has been marked as bot since the very beginning and is also clearly marked as bot in the screenshot as @blackn1ght@feddit.uk already mentioned.

          i also just checked on db0 in case there was some federation issue that would have the account not be marked as bot over there and it’s also clearly marked as bot when viewed on db0.

            Ah… I’ve heard more than one person saying they can see it despite having blocked bots and not seeing other bots. Sounds like there’s a technical issue somewhere.
