"i hate X as much as the next guy but cmon"

literal reddit bot

[–] Bernie2028@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago (114 children)

I'd say YOU guys (Hexbears and Lemmygradians) are bots. In fact, I'm probably talking to one right now.

The pronoun tags give it away. They're completely random. My inbox as follows:

"none/use name" - "she/her" - "ze/hir" - "they/them" - "any" - "comrade/them" - "comrade/them" - "he/him"

Jfc did Russian propagandists just put the pronouns for these bots...on shuffle? I'm not saying all of you guys are bots but it seems like the majority. Lol I wonder if there's a script I can use to shut you down.

What are your opinions on pronoun tags?

Lol proving my point, this is like, the exact thing a bot would reply.

Lmao, seriously though, what your your opinions on them?

Good, then why are you trying to use that as proof we are bots? Like have you ever even looked at hexbear.net?
