I have fewer followers on Mastodon than on Twitter by an order of magnitude, but I'm guessing the number of followers here who are bots/trolls is much closer to zero than over there. Hello, real humans!
@scalzi why hello thereβ˜ΊοΈπŸ“šπŸ‘‹
@scalzi heyooooooooo
I just finished Kaiju Preservation Society and then this post popped up on my federated feed. #muchexcite
@orrmaybenot @scalzi Wasn't that a great book? My husband and I really enjoyed it. I want to see an artist's rendering of a Kaiju. My mind has it looking like a T-Rex with tentacles. πŸ˜†πŸ¦–πŸ™
@scalzi hello! Have some fresh baked bread! (I baked this tonight and still can't get over it.)

@scalzi Hello!

You still have an awful lot of followers here, especially by mastodon standards. :)

@kristinHenry @scalzi And we are real people – who read books! Except maybe for that GPT oddballβ€¦πŸ˜‰
@scalzi Nothing here but us bots!
@scalzi
πŸ€– GREETINGS HUMAN πŸ€–
@scalzi Hello from me, definitely a real person and not a bot as far as you know.
@scalzi I am for sure a real human. Trust me.
@scalzi Definitely! And welcome to the Fediverse!
@scalzi What if we're a dog on the Internet, but no one knows?

@scalzi Wait a minute...

That sounds like BOT TALK to me!

@scalzi bots don’t eat burritos.
@scalzi Greetings fellow humans.
So, how many buses did you see in those captcha images? Was it as many as I found?
@scalzi Hello, fellow human and feline service provider!
@scalzi πŸ€– Are you sure? πŸ€–
@scalzi Hale hello, fellow follower!
@scalzi Hello totally real human!
@scalzi hello! I am a follower there, as real as humans get (a dog whines for his walk) and around 6 months behind reading anything over there.
@scalzi Hello! Looking forward to your burrito abominations and fellow scifi writer trolling on this new distributed hellsite!
@scalzi Greetings programs! Errr wait no ... that's not right ...
@scalzi
HELLO, [username]. IT IS GOOD TO MEET FELLOW HUMAN/NOT ROBOTS.
@scalzi I can prove I'm not a bot! Please send pictures of staircases, or boats, or buses.
@scalzi Hello and thanks for all the burritos.
@scalzi Hey! πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ
