Speaking ass an app developer, the person who chose the text is probably not the person who did the development or testing. This is probably a default template where they just say "what's the title, what's the message". It would be very unlikely that it was anything butt a coincidence.
I mean. There are quite a few legit bots around. Especially on the news subs. The fediverse isn't quite as saturated yet with legit content submissions.
I'm using sync on Android and I don't believe that I can change the setting there. I can change the setting for whether I filter bot accounts, and so that confused me for a bit about whether I was misinterpreting that setting.
I did find the setting in a web browser on my home instance. And I thought I corrected it, and I thought I saved my change. Updates and screenshots to follow momentarily.
When I search for this setting in Sync it shows up.
But when I click on it it goes to a page that does not offer the setting either at the top level or buried inside of anything else.
When I go to look for this setting again in my home instance, I find that it is in fact now correctly set. It was not correctly set when I posted. So my fix stuck.
I assume, as someone else suggested, that there's some caching going on somewhere, either on the transmitting end or the receiving end.
That's fair: as far as Lemmy knows it was posted by a self-declared bot, even if that puppet later became a real boy.
Somewhat related - anyone knows how to completely disable this message? I have turned off ASSistant, but this keeps popping up everytime I connect bluetooth headset. Thanks in advance
There's a streamer I sometimes watch on twitch who used to play a game and then spend some time watching analog horror that chat had recommended. He intentionally phrased his stream titles so they'd show up in twitch notifications as, "now: [game/activity] later: anal..."

So, the person who designed that absolutely did it on purpose, right? Because if not, that is the funniest coincidence I’ve seen in a long while.

Theirs is better as it says to hold the action butt
friendlymessage@feddit.de · 26 pts · 2y
It's also better because the font is not awful
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net · 15 pts · 2y
I agree, but didn't mention coz it's their phone and they can make it as bad as they want.
whoisearth@lemmy.ca · 25 pts · 2y
Your phone font is making me twitch

Hey OP, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot and many might be filtering it.
bobagem@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 2y
I did not know. Thanks for telling me. Fixed.
can@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
Thank you for acknowledging my attempt! I've made similar comments to other users at least five times and they all went ignored.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
Shouldn't that mean they are... bots..?
can@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y
That's all I can conclude. I was actually surprised OP replied. But I knew they were human by how they interacted with users.

can@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
But engaging in the comments? I'm not talking about alien.top either.
DarkThoughts@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
I hope not. Although I keep seeing some people posting the same shit I saw on Reddit. Might just be lazy commenting though.
bobagem@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Thank you. I'm going to try again now.

Is this a setting that defaults to bot‽

Still have the B icon next to your name.
can@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Really? What app are you using? Maybe it's cached? The bot icon on sync went away for me as soon as OP turned it off.
PoolloverNathan@programming.dev · 2 pts · 2y
Sync user here, OP still has bot icon.
Edit: Gone now
can@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
I continue to be further confused.
oce@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 2y
Web mobile
can@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Oh that's even more confusing. Maybe make a bug report?

If not a screenshot, you do realize that things other than phones take pictures, right? Have people forgotten that cameras exist?

Is this not a screenshot?
Edit: Maybe not, there are some strange moiré-like patterns surrounding the text...
DarkThoughts@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
It very obviously is not? You can literally see the frame of the phone and OP even said in the description that it is a photo of a phone screen.
