What does this blue symbol next to someone’s username mean?

It’s a bot account.

Kind of a poor choice for a bot icon imo

I'd just put a robot emoji or something.

Feel free to recommend a better icon from Apple’s SF Symbol’s library

My favorite: poweroutlet.type.f.square.fill

other options:

  • poweroutlet.type.b: maybe too much of a ghost
  • 01.square: because binary
  • square.and.at.rectangle: looks a bit like a drunk robot

b.square maybe

Hey that symbol is next to my name when I post. I’m not a bot!

Exactly what a bot would say.

User error. I apparently clicked “bot account” in my settings. Smh my head.
