Bots? OH MY (i.imgflip.com)

On Beehaw there are a few tldr bots from other instances. I present Beehaws own summarizing bot developed by yours truly. Based on feedback from moderators and community leaders, I don't just want to let this loose on the entire site. Might cause confusion and spam for a community instead of being useful. If you do like what that bot does, and are a moderator of a community on Beehaw that wants to use it; send a private messaged to AbstractifyBot stating Summarize articles on c/[communityname].

That's just one aspect, but I have a few more questions while I have your attention.

  • What type of bots if any do you want to see on Beehaw to help things/your community?
  • Which functions of the 'nice to have' should be built in and not reliant on a bot to do?
  • What do you need for your communities to thrive here?

It's now at the point where there are two or three "summariser" bots under a post. They don't seem to be adding anything, and we certainly don't need multiple. Are they really useful?

Yeah I get that, certainly don't like the spammy nature of such. My apologies. I will put AbstractBot on suspension.
