a bot to detect haikus in posts and comments. Contribute to tubbadu/lemmy-haiku-bot development by creating an account on GitHub.

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!

    You did not answer the question… I asked you:

    How is a haiku bot not invasive spam?

    It’s basically the same as the “all numbers in your post add up to 69” bot.

      some people enjoys it, some people doesn’t. from wikipedia:

      Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, for the purpose of non-commercial proselytizing, for any prohibited purpose (especially the fraudulent purpose of phishing), or simply repeatedly sending the same message to the same user.

      the keyword is unsolicited: you don’t want it? just don’t add it to your communities. you want it? add it to your community. it doesn’t bother you at all if it’s unsolicited.

          I think a haiku bot is funny, especially in the right circumstances. It was one of the only bots I enjoyed seeing around reddit.
