question:

has anyone made a bot that can process replies it recieves to toots? for example, a quiz bot that responds 'correct' or 'incorrect' when people reply with answers?

I can't figure out an elegant (or even inelegant) way to handle this with the API.

I can only find a listener inthe Python API (here's a great example: bortzmeyer.org/fediverse-bot.h) -- something the Ruby one is missing?
