X (twitter): "Oh shit, most of our users are bots."

Mastodon: "Oh shit, we have a bunch of extra users."

Probably still bots, I'm the only real person on the internet

Perhaps it is YOU who is the bot!

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 11 points 11 months ago

Is anyone else in here Solopsistic, or is it just me?

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No, we are all bots, and we know 😉

Cowards! At least admit it in your display name…

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Well, I'm an individual, just like everyone else

[–] Junkers_Klunker@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's actually really comforting to know im not a human as i thought 😅

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Well don't get to comfortable. You only feel that way because you were programmed too. Just like I was programmed to point this out to you.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

You're not a person! You're a good bug, Steeve!

[–] wiki_me@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Come with me if you want to waste time

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

But I'm not a bot, I was here to promote a movie on this new social media platform...

Wait a minute, that's exactly what an advertising bot would do!

... Oh boy.

I am actually several bots sharing a single account!

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am several under age bots in a trench coat that is sneaking into a R rated site.
