✨ Rediscovering an Old Friend: @SigmundBOT ✨

[ https://mastodon.social/@SigmundBOT ]

Long before today’s flood of AI chatter, I launched @SigmundBOT
as a playful experiment—a space where ideas about artificial intelligence, digital philosophy, and curious code could roam free.

Now I’m breathing new life into it.

I’m constantly exploring emerging technologies for fun—tinkering with AI models, decentralised networks, privacy tools, and the occasional off-beat gadget. If you love discovering the next breakthrough before it trends, let’s connect.

Follow @SigmundBOT for thoughtful snippets, experimental bots, and the occasional wild psychology related concept. Tech aficionados, this is your invitation to build rapport, swap insights, and push boundaries together. 🚀 'And' fellow counsellors, psychiatrists, or psychologists... Make sure you make @SigmundBOT your friend. 🙂

Come say hi, share what you’re building, or just watch the experiments unfold.

Are the results of this poll surprising? I cannot say one way or the other since it's a rather small sample size.😉 It'd be interesting to see how these behaviors correlate, if at all, with other lifestyle behaviors.😆

If a post contains one or more typos, misspellings, &/or other grammatical errors, how does this impact the likelihood of you favoriting or boosting it, if at all? BONUS QUESTION: If you answered, "Decreases likelihood," are you, by chance, a professional writer or editor? 😉

On that note, Mastodon polls don't show the answers UNTIL you vote, which is, not surprisingly, the most objective/scientific way to conduct polls. ;)

For polls showing answers before voting, do you think you're influenced by existing results, & if so, do you tend to choose your answer(s) based on their popularity (i.e., social proof), lack thereof, or some other factor? What do you think this says about you? Is this a (sub)conscious need to belong or assert your uniqueness?
