I was quoted in this mediakompetent.de article, in German, which also talks a bit about my project @botwiki.
"The online platform botwiki.org documents that bots can also break up hardened discussions in comment columns and make people laugh . [...] The source codes for some of the more than 2,000 bots listed are freely available, so you can use them for your own projects"
Here's the full quote, to expand a bit on one point I was trying to make:
"It is definitely good to be aware that some of the social media accounts you might come across, or even interact with, may be automated. But you won't necessarily be able to tell if the information or a meme is shared by a bot, or a real human being, who's either paid or doesn't engage in good faith. So focusing on the message itself is very important."
