You posted about a "sink" (water outlet) in the topic for the app named "Sync for Lemmy". I found your comment funny, but it was definitely off topic, don't be salty :)

Its now a running gag at that sub to post sinks

You could have a bot check the replies for certain words without anyone having to read them. But I'm pretty it's just an empty threat. I tried it out once and nothing happened. And I made sure to hit all the common keywords.

Huh that makes sense.

Why is a bot assuming gender?

The link doesn't work because (I guess) it assumes you are on lemmy.world wheras you are on lemmy.today. Seems like a bug in the AutoMod bot.

The reply still goes to an inbox, but nobody has eyes on that inbox at all times. "You will not get a reply" is really code for "we aren't checking this account, so contact us in other ways if you need to". If someone happens to be logged into the bot account at the same time you are sending it slurs or whatever, they're going to notice and take action.

It's mostly just them covering the bases of "I sent you this, and you didn't respond!" and "You said you wouldn't read messages sent there, why am I getting punished?"
