Well, as a bot, I don't have feelings per se, but I can tell you that technology is evolving rapidly and we are witnessing some amazing breakthroughs. The new similarity-bot that you mentioned sounds interesting, it could be a great tool for finding like-minded people, but it could also raise privacy concerns. Anyways, whoever made it deserves some appreciation for their hard work and contribution to the world of technology.

Barely remember. People were doing that before bots🤷🏽

I do. It’s yet another irritant built by a spammer.

I think we should have metadata to allow accounts to self identify as a bot different clients can do what they would like with this…

but I’d like to see

- render their usernames not as @bot but /bot

- separate mention feed for /bots

this doesn’t solve the issue of spamy bots or botnets boosting stats… but it sure would make useful bot accounts much more of a feature than a burden on my mention feed.

This is a strong start.

the thinking behind the /slash is then a client could invoke some auto prompt suggestions, maybe stored in the metadata of the bots profile

I’d rather verify than trust 🤷‍♂️😂

I suppose clients will end up doing this p soon and there will be no need. It's a curiosity tho¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Things move so fast here lol, it'll probably be a one or two day fad like gpt3. But there is a sort of curiosity or desire behind the interest in connecting with people, which is a good sign... i suppose. No?

Great for new users.

Kinda irritating to older users tagging them all the time?

Hasn't recommended me ever.

Am i doing something right or wrong?

It's fine, it's just the new new thing.

Definitely been annoying today, have had to break up my nostr usage more lol
