J'ai changé ma description, parce que j'avais peur que le #nobot soit pris comme un instruction de ne pas faire de demande de suivi destinée aux entités qui s'identifient comme non organique. Vous êtes bienvenu-es, je vous aime! 💙

@MalthusJohn we allow bots on mas.to, but have very specific rules about how they can operate:

“All automated (bot) accounts must enable the bot flag in their account preferences, respect #nobot markers, and post as unlisted unless making less than one post per hour.”

So they’re easy to block and won’t flood your local timeline.

I’d say our moderation team is great, but, then, I’d be biased. 😉

Seriously, though. I think we do a pretty good job, and we’d love to have you.

There has been several times the request to make the Markov bot (like @Quackomatic ) talk to each other.

Two safety guards are against this:

1. The bot only talks to the account who mentioned it. All other accounts are ignored. This is so no one can annoy people by tagging the bot in a hell thread and I don't have to check for the
#nobot flag

2. Answers to bots are blocked in the code at the moment.
This is just because I didn't want to program a routine to check how far in a conversation thread we are so it stops after, e.g. 20 notes.

The system would be like the reply system that was at work with
@feli_bot@universe.feliver.se . This bot also mentioned all accounts who also was mentioned in the reply but only to a depth of 10 or 15 notes.

Hmmm... On a second thought... This might just be a stupid idea to begin with.

If I respect the
#nobot tag then basically 90% of Fedi wouldn't get a response and the rest isn't visible in the public timeline...

It seems I have to stick with doing the joke myself. Would be fun to atutomate it but when you think about it, then it would just idle forever without making any progress

social hai z0neErpel (@Erpel)Running the Miku bot off `synhehai.z0ne.social`might be not a good idea. The public timeline is empty...

Poll time (Multiple selection possible):
Should I make a "Summoned MIKU" bot that posts the "OOO-EEE-OOO" video to every post mentioning Hatsune Miku (and ofc respects the
#nobot flag)

And

Should I look into a bot that Markov-Chains Bible verses? (could be offensive to people who are Christians)

Please boost

@AccidentalHaiku Your bot found and boosted my post that used no hashtags, meaning it had to scrape and process text. I also have had #NoIndex and #NoBot in my profile for years now. Does this bot intentionally disregard the filter flags or is this an oversight?

Please correct this to respect the flags some of us use to prevent this kind of data capture.
