Haiku-bot 1.0 out now! (github.com)

Hello fellow Lemmings! the first version of the haiku-bot is out! anyone can add or remove it in any community by simply mentioning him and asking to subscribe:
!Haiku-bot SUBSCRIBE
when added to a community, it will read every comment (not posts currently) and if he detects the 5-7-5 syllable pattern typical of haikus will reply formatting it in a nice way! If it becomes too spammy you can remove it by just commenting:
!haiku-bot UNSUBSCRIBE
currently it can be subscribed and unsubscribed by anyone, but if this will result in a problem please let me know and I'll allow only mods to do this! any problem, bug, suggestion, insult, anything you wish is welcome!

hope you'll enjoy it!

“OP made it opt-in”

1 - It’s not opt-in "By User" though. It’s opt-in "By Community"...

So if one person turns it on, 1000’s of other people see it.

OP keeps saying “you can just toggle it off”... but I really can’t... when anyone can toggle it back on.

2 - Future options for toggling are not much better (bottom of the repo, To-Do section):

  • "if a moderator adds the haiku-bot, non-mod users cannot remove it"

  • “only allow moderators to subscribe/unsubscribe”

...so the toggle option wouldn’t apply to 99% of people anyway.

“a few users were waiting for this (-OP)”

Who was waiting for it? The top level replies in this thread are:

  • you, who wouldn’t use it
  • me, who doesn’t want it
  • Otome, who doesn’t like it

I think your bot rules are pretty solid though.

Overall, I just feel like... Lemmy is a fresh space...

a chance to make a new culture...

maybe it's best to leave that old bloated carcass behind.
