    I used to chuckle when the alphabetical order bot on reddit would reply to someone’s extremely dark comment with “Would you look at that? All the words in your comment are in alphabetical order!”

      I sometimes tried to summon that bot but it didn’t come when you did it intentionally

        I feel I only ever saw it appear when its presence was somewhat problematic lol

        But how would the bot know? They don’t understand the intentions behind the comments.

        Unless it wasn’t a bot at all, but a human pretending to be a bot!

          I guess 1. it might only cover a fraction of comments so if you do it unintentionally and it doesn’t work you don’t notice so that’s a big bias 2. I didn’t try very often so it isn’t statistically significant 3. when I tried it often was in direct or indirect response to the bot so there might be a filter on the bot’s side.

          And I sound like I tried more than once, I’m not even sure but surely at least once and at the very most thrice

      On the other hand, we don’t have the ‘water isn’t wet’ bot.

      It’s easy to make them but those bots, for now, are unneeded and if you ask me annoying. You can expect them when Lemmy becomes more popular though.

    That may be the only bot whose responding to me wouldn’t annoy me.
