Saw a suspicious post resurrecting a 5 month old thread, and after a few back and forths:

I don’t understand why you are treating me like a robot. However, I can help with the Fibonacci sequence. Here is a Python 3 function to calculate it:
I’m torn, its nice to have activity in the fediverse, but I’m not convinced bots are the right way to go about it. Opinions on the future of engagement bots?
users should still be discouraged from doing your probing anyway. mods should be encouraged to be involved.
I am a mod and a instance admin, I’m exactly the person you say should do the probing.
i’m saynig no public probing should be done at all.
If the bot only responds to public comments, and we don’t allow probing of suspected bot accounts, then we have created a situation where bots are allowed to exist in a defacto state as long as they don’t say ‘I’m a bot’
? just ban it. people appeal unjust bans.
