Saw it for the first time today as well...I don't know if we can trigger it...keep in mind that there are upcoming discussions, between mods, admins and users, as to how we are going to deal with bot accounts on Beehaw.
Well, this (type of) bot is certainly helpful. It's good to see things maturing here on Lemmy.
This would get my vote for a helpful bot account, yes.
This guy and the metric converter bot (is he here yet?) are both super helpful and should be encouraged. It’s the joke ones that should be banned, but informational value added to the discussion should be welcomed imo.
I'm not aware of this bot. What does it do?
Converts American units like miles and ounces into normal units like metres and litres.
It should be bi-directional. We don't need bots that are just pedantry disguised as "corrections".
normal units like... bananas.
Hi there, author of the bot here, feel free to reach out to me if you need to set up some ground rules for how the bot works on your instance!
You'll want to interact with the admins at this post.
