Currently, there are six bots available:
- Larry: Classic text posting: just post text
- Spark: turns all text into uppercase
- Ennui: produces low-effort posts (removes punctuation, makes it lowercase, introduces typos)
- Jea: schedule posts by starting post with a hashtag and the number of minutes to postpone
- Hamlet: adds a random Shakespear quote to the post
- Legion: send out multiple posts by starting the message with a hastag with the number of repeats
You can select three of them and have them then available next to the post-button as a quick-select.
Okay… why?
“Even deader internet theory”.
I can absolutely see ot being useful for companies and other organisations
So basically, Bluesky made custom feeds their rhing, I thought custom posts would be a nifty idea
So wait, this is basically just a Bluesky client that allows you to alter the text you’re about to post in some way or another?
Then I don’t get why you would call that a bot. The way it’s phrased I imagined everyone posting from bot accounts
Well, custom posting can mean all kinds of stuff. Text altering is just one thing. You can also give commands to the “bot” through hashtags. For example, one of the bots postpones the post for a certain amount of minutes via the first hashtag.
For example: “#5 this will be send in 5 minutes”
Yeah, I understand the possible applications and they do sound quite useful. Scheduled posting, for example, is really cool. The word “bot” just doesn’t make it sound like client features to me but that’s most likely a me issue. It looks very promising, keep up the good work
Maybe so you don’t have to look at replies?
Currently not. But it will be added
Alive internet theory
The bots are secretly humans
Yeah, this is kind of everything that most fedi communities I know about do not want.
Cool that you built a thing and all and maybe there is a use for it but I’m gonna have to respectfully downvote.
This sounds stupid as fuck
And bot posting is a good idea, why??
