Sylkeweb Testing The Fediverse (sylkeweb@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 11-Dec-2023 23:17:21 JST

@feditips I had a small conversation with the usually well informed server admin but he couldn’t shed much light either and agreed with me that a news account doesn’t necessarily have to be an automated account. I think this is one of those cases where different services have made use of the sometimes not very specific AP protocol in different ways.
I don’t think it’s intended to be used with RSS as a rule, there is no such specification on the settings page. I chose it as I post news articles.
