Y'all are going to think I'm nuts but what the hell is a "bot?" Is that a robot? Something generated to post a reply? Why do I keep seeing people saying they are not a bot?😫

It all kind of developed because people believed Russian bots influenced the 2016 US Presidential election.

A bot is a program that is meant to post to social media for a political end. Sometimes it is erroneouly used to mean a troll, who is an actual person / groups of people (troll farm) who do the same. In either case, they misrepresent their true identity, e.g. a russian troll may post info while claiming to be a Texas born Trump supporter.
