Someone researching the topic of "social bots and how they can become of use as a weapon for media literacy" reached out asking for examples of "bots fighting racism, hate speech etc".

Anything that comes to mind?

I've already shared more general links, like:

I found and forked a repo for a kbin , and created a clone of @lol that runs on : meet @MegaHAL. I haven't gotten the bot to learn from on-site posts yet, because the code scrapes HTML from kbin in the absence of a working site API, which is hard to parse. The original repo owner is almost done with a basic , though, so that may change very soon. Watch this space.

For bots that post random stuff from a list, do you post completely randomly, or do you tweak your bot to, for example, avoid posting the same thing twice in a row?

What strategies do you use?

You could actually do this 🤔 the code is available (https://github.com/avatar42/deepstack/wiki/Toot-Alert), all you'd need is to screencap the live feed at regular intervals.

I'm not saying I would do it of course, I'm already knee-deep in projects including both fedi- and bot-related ones 😅 cc

How often do you check your bots' notifications?

Some people put in their profile descriptions to let bot developers know that they don't want to interact with their bots.

Do you, as a botmaker, check for this?

Reminder: Not everyone wants to interact with your bot. Look for the tag in people's bio before your bot starts speaking with them.
