It is a checkbox on your settings page never the bottom.

What does it mean to be a bot account? I saw the setting, but I didn't know what it meant

[-] impulse@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It means that you are a bot. For example like Reddit's automod or all the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings quote bots or also unit converter bots.

And it seems like the first people are already trying to misuse the label.

Do you have to do something special to truly make your account a bot? Like give it a function it can do as a bot? (I'm not trying to make this account a bot though)

It is just something you can add if you plan to make the account controlled by a script. I think the plan is to eventually add an option to ignore all bot posts, but AFAIK this doesn't exist yet.

After you become a bot account, you don't have to sleep, anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Your username now have 'bot account' attached to it, and other people can choose not to see your posts by deselecting 'show bot accounts'.

Attach your favorite AI to a new bot account, and let it curate all the communities you miss from Reddit.

on your profile settings on the web is a checkbox to mark it as a bot account.
