Somebody just accused me of being a reddit bot. I can’t even blend in on here

Vent Advice Wanted

For context I’m in my 30’s. Like 6 months ago was “diagnosed” by a doctor but I don’t know if it was formal or not. They just said they think I have autism, and I’ve been processing that and haven’t made anymore appointments. Partly because I don’t know if I’m ready to have that conversation, or just want to deal on my own. I’ve always known something about me was different.

I just made a reddit account like a week ago because I wanted to talk about movies and tv shows I like.

Somebody ran something called sleuth bot on two of my posts. I read about it and basically it tries to determine if you are a real person or not making the post. Ouch.

I was just asking questions and stating opinions about movies/tv and some franchises I like. I’m not on there to argue, I just want to have a good time and see what other people think about what I’m into.

I’ve had some posts get a lot of comments and likes and what not so obviously people are interested in what I’m saying, but at least one person thinks I’m not even real.

Has anyone else had this happen on here? This is the only social media I currently have, dropped Facebook and all that years ago. But I do watch YouTube and occasionally comment if I think it’s really worth it.

I tried coming out of my shell and now it just feels weird knowing that someone thinks I’m a robot, it’s disheartening.
