I believe that indicates that particular community is “local” to the instance of Lemmy you’re signed into. Since it is local they don’t need to add the rest of the instance address for the community.

(So if you were logged into lemmy.world when you took the screenshot that would mean that is !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world)

No problem! I went back and looked through the comments and posts again and now I’m uncertain if it is actually a bot or just a really sick person acting like one. Either way, I’ve blocked them. I was on a thread about cookies missing chocolate chips of all places for that nonsense to show up.

I had to remember where I blocked that “user”, it was over on my Kbin account. Here is the user if anyone wants to preview them and preemptively block them: https://kbin.social/u/dickusmungus/comments

CW: Homphobia. I’ve only seen one thread attacked by a bot so far. It repeatedly posted a loooong homophobic comment pretending to be a thoughtful and objective analysis of why gay men have lower life expectancy due to being “sExuaL” and apparently “DiSeAsEd”. It posted the same comment multiple times in the thread and responded to multiple comments including its own with the same comment over and over again. Not super jazzed to see that crap here, hoping we can avoid a botpocalypse on the Fediverse.
