    There are two separate takes in this thread, those that like bots and those that find the posts spammy.

    What about having one bot that provides multiple functions? All the “utilities” can be included in one comment, reducing spam.

    Assuming the bot is open sourced, people can contribute modules to it. After that, an instance can choose to run the bot with modules that it thinks are helpful and users can give feedback on what they like / don’t like.
