Why is my account flagged as a bot?

I noticed that all my comments here appear with a bot symbol next to them. I have three or four lemmy accounts and this only happens on world. Did I do something wrong? or do i need to do something to remove it? I'm using the sync app btw

Check your settings and see if you haven't accidentally clicked on the "This is a bot account" option.
Have you considered that maybe you are a bot? Have you taken a Turing test lately? Voight-kampff?
I don't know if you can do it from Sync, but on the settings page it's just a checkbox. Uncheck it and hit save.
- This solved the problem. If this option was on by default, that's stupid. But if I accidentally activated it then I'm the stupid one. lol
  
  It is definitely not on by default.
  
  Feels good do be human again? If I were a lemmy dev I would add captchas to that checkbox.
  
  When I created my account I checked the box just out of reflex before I realized what it was for.
Bad bot
Stop trying to appear as a human for sympathy, bot.
Can you take a look on the website itself and go to your settings? There is a bot checkmark. Maybe you turned it on accidentally.
