@ascii_only I just saw you had never made an original top level post, but now I see you have been replying to things which I didn't check before
@liaizon Sorry, I was just migrating my account to a new server and was being a bit slow. Defo not a bot.

@valerie_tortolero ah wonderful! sorry to scare you like that!
@liaizon oh shit am I *that* old to use _ like spammers? I had no idea

@valerie_tortolero so the other person was @ascii_only and I got a notif that you both followed me and I was like ok that muuuust be a bot network cause both of your accounts showed 0 posts and many follows. interesting how wrong our (my) assumptions can be!
@liaizon I am not a bot. I just used followgraph to find more people to follow and you were one of them.
