# Actors and Actor Properties
## `Service` vs `Person` actors
GoToSocial serves most accounts as the ActivityStreams `Person` type described [here](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-person).
Accounts that users have selected to mark as bot accounts, however, will use the `Service` type described [here](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-service).
This type distinction can be used by remote servers to distinguish between bot accounts and "regular" user accounts.
## Inbox
GoToSocial implements Inboxes for Actors following the ActivityPub specification [here](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#inbox).
