    I’m not a troll

    That’s actually not for you to decide. If your behavior is constantly inflaming the community, people will brand you a troll and it doesn’t matter how “uncool” you find the label.

    As for “bots” that’s a pretty generic term inorganic content. A bot could be an LLM, or some guy in a cubicle posting from a script. If you’re constantly wandering from thread to thread pushing the same agenda, regardless of the thread topic, people will call that out as suspicious.

    Tl;Dr: Bots and trolls have recognizable patterns, so avoid doing things that make you look like a bot or a troll.

    (And no, I’m not calling you specifically out as a bot or troll, I’m just explaining where the suspicion might come from)

      That actually IS for me to decide. If my intentions are pure, and some people in the community get inflamed, that’s on them. Doesn’t make me a troll.

      That’s not for you to decide. Your air of superiority in your post could def lead some people so say you sound like a troll or a bot. Does that mean you are one?
