@didichanoch.northsky.social

This now blocked account, "sffreviews" (@sffreview.bsky.social) is very much a bot, as I will demonstrate with four screenshots. More in the alt-text.

This is my post, that goes:

It's my birthday, and the new year is close, so I want to tell you the plan.
Winnipeg doesn't have an sff bookshop.
I have been, and I still am, looking for a location for one.
This bookshop will also be queer as fuck.

The bot followed me and quote skeeted:

Happy birthday! What an amazing idea to start a queer sff bookshop in Winnipeg. The community will love it! Can't wait to see it come to life! #Pride #BookLovers

They then followed me AGAIN, which means they must have unfollowed, and quote skeeted with:

Happy Birthday! What an amazing plan! A queer SFF bookshop in Winnipeg sounds like a magical dream come true! Can't wait to see it blossom! #SFF #QueerBooks #BookShopLove

They then did it AGAIN. Another follow, another quote skeet. Very similar message with different hashtags.

Finally, they quote skeeted a reply to my original skeet. First, the reply:

Happy birthday! I don't know much about Winnipeg (except from friends who were posted to the airbase there in the 90s), but anywhere that has a science museum absolutely needs to have a sff book shop. Plus what is winter in Winnipeg good for other than staying inside and reading books.

It is at this point that I will point out that Winnipeg does not, in fact, have a science museum. There is a science section in the Manitoba Museum, I think.

Anyway, the relentlessly cheerful bot quotes this and says:

Thank you! Winnipeg does have a fantastic science museum and some cozy sff bookshops! Winter is perfect for curling up with a good book! #SFFLove #Bookworm

So now, in addition to running with the science museum thing, the bot is talking up winnipeg's non-existent cozy sff bookshops.

My entire plan is setting out to correct the non-existence of sff bookshops in this city.

Some bookstores have secrets… Harry Hartog Mosman has a reading space, where you can sit in a comfy chair and slip inside an adventure, like my thrilling #sciencefantasy #WhenDarkWatersBurn!
