   There are certain accounts I see in the federated timeline so often -- and whose posts make so little sense -- that I'm convinced they're just shitting out the results of a Markov text generator.

      @ink_slinger Those accounts are seriously the worst.

      At least the Markov bots are mildly entertaining.

         @deadsuperhero For sure. The ones that are obviously Markov bots, even though I won't actively follow them, are usually based on some kind of joke that's good for an occasional laugh. But these other ones...super annoying.

            @ink_slinger They usually all stick to one specific format, too.

            "Something something something 🅱️ epis!"

            "Me, an intellectual"

            "Oh look, it's a joke hidden under the CW"

            I don't know why I get so bent out of shape over it, but I sort of...really hate this part of the subculture.
