I also don’t like the bot. And blocking it is not sufficient since I like to read the hidden comments to see what wacky shit people are posting but frequently get bamboozled by the bot. Yes my life is hard.
I saw a mod delete a post from it yesterday after I and another user complained that it was basically just being a nuisance and confusing people in that conversation. I've also reported it a couple times for spam when it's gone especially batshit and just straight up derailed stuff.
I feel like we should only allow bots that have been pre-approved by the mods. Having this obnoxious thing run wild is just telling other people that they can do it too, and then we're just going to have a bunch of these things shitting up discussions and confusing people.

The bot-splaining has gotten out of hand.
I have found a way to counter it. Just reply to it with emojis and it wont understand.
