The rules for bots (docs.beehaw.org)

After some discussions in !chat, we came up with the conclusion we should adopt rules surrounding bots.

We'll ban bots which we are aware of that currently don't follow these rules and contact their creators. Please report bots that don't follow these.

To be fair, the TL;DR would be a lot shorter if the breaks between sentences were removed. I personally draw the line at around 200 words for a summary, so the 183 words in the summary is a bit long but still a reasonable TL;DR for an article.

Since Lemmy implements spoiler tags, I think wrapping the summary in a spoiler tag would be a way to solve the length problem.

I love the idea of wrapping the summary in a spoiler tag! I think that would be a great idea to be implemented for bots like that and would solve a lot of this. That's a great idea you've had and I thank you for sharing it!
