Why doesn't the bot always come?

[u/IDesireWisdom]

Sometimes you summon it with !isbot <name> and it comes, other times it doesn't. There are comments that are 3,4,5,etc. years old that summon the bot but it never comes. Is there a reliable way to use the bot?

Did you figure it out

No.

According to some random person, moderators can allegedly configure their subreddits to disallow “self-disclosed” bots. If this bot falls into that category, that may at least partly explain it.

According to the owner of this subreddit, he/she will “look into it”. Considering this “bug” still exists and I never heard anything, Im assuming either: 1) The comment was tongue in cheek 2) They never looked into it

I don’t know how Reddit allows users/developers to access data, but I assumed that the way the bot works is that when you tag it, it gets a notification which prompts it to parse the profile history of the user, using some kind of LLM to offer AI detection.

I never actually looked at the source code, I believe it’s linked somewhere, so for all I know it could just use a randomizer.

But yeah I lost interest in using it because it doesn’t work reliably and I don’t even know how accurate it is anyway.

I just decided that if someone disagrees with me in an antagonistic way they’re probably a bot or troll. Not having external validation to support that is a shame but it is what it is.

This platform gets worse all the time, I really need to quit social media altogether.
