I don't know if anyone ever sees comments here, but do you realize that your bot has caused people to quit Steem? Non English speakers only see that a bot is repeating their words back to them and they assume they have done something wrong and are in trouble. They are embarrassed and quit.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I love @haikubot personally, it always brings me joy and sometimes insight. I wish it had a site where it collected all the haiku in a searchable fashion.
I spent time this morning (again) trying to explain to a young man in Aceh that he had done nothing wrong when your bot repeated his words back to him. He was certain he was in trouble for writing a bad comment. Can an explanation that this is just for fun be added to the signature? I hate seeing people quiting because this bot has confused them into believing they are doing something wrong.
It is not my bot, I am just a fan, if I knew how to make bots it would not be nearly as clever nor as benign as @haikubot
it says " I'm a bot. I detect haiku." If someone quits because they wrote a haiku and haikubot informed them of it that's odd and does not make much sense, they would have to be irrational and illiterate. Someone like that would probably struggle here anyhow. It always brightens my day when I see I have written another amazing haiku.
I wish it had a site so I could go tell whoever created it what I think. It is simply spam.
If you read the replies most people are as delighted as I am, I love it. Spam is usually commercial in nature. Haikubot asks for nothing and isn't selling anything.
But it is filling up my page with worthless comments. Is there a way to block it?
I think you can "mute" someone by clicking on their name and then it is next to the follow button, or stop writing such amazing haiku. ;)
