gollark: It's on one of my "servers".
gollark: The old version of it was actually written in Rust, but I'm not very good at that so I rewrote it.
gollark: It's actually on github too: https://github.com/osmarks/autobotrobot
gollark: My bot has about 300 lines of code, and it has... a fortune command, `++delete` (a joke one which just says "Deleted [whatever you typed]" and adds it to the deleted items list), a command to list recently "deleted" things, a command to run various esolangs and stuff using TIO.run, and a reminder thing.
gollark: Many of them *are* pretty similar.
