    So bots. If a user doesn’t choose their own name they are making the choice to look like a bot.

      Not necessarily. If you happen to use “use Google to sign up” (at least a few years back) it just generated a username for you, without asking.

      It gave me the username of Big-Mathematician[3digit number] and people kept throwing math memes at me despite me not really having any interest in maths.

      But yeah lots are bots, but a generated username doesn’t mean they’re necessarily a bot.

      That being said idn wtf I even read there seemed like aome sort of modern version of Hitler Jugend.
