I have to say, the placeholders @placeholder_bot are a little annoying but it’s really nice to be able to have the timeline history. And it seems to be working great!

@placeholder_bot @amin Could you not do some magic behind the scenes to remove the bot from the feed but the posts still be there?

It is great being able to go through the timeline.

@orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot

Nope, if it were filtered out the timeline would clear. :P

Same if you mute the account, I think.

@placeholder_bot @amin Right… fair enough.
@orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot @amin I'm working on the solution in my imaginatively titled project "placeholder" to make the messages more fun and varying. Amin will have to add the executable when he signs off on it that he likes it, until then ideas are welcome on what to include.
@placeholder_bot @sunarch @amin Ooh, an imaginative name… Well I mean anything could go there, literally just a single word like “boop” or something stupid like that XD
Is it using a list of predefined phrases to post?
@orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot @amin I can add predefined ones, but the original idea was to do madlibs-style combinations for funny effects.
@orbitalmartian @amin

@placeholder_bot just liked these posts, so there's no need for the project anymore, it became sentient.

@sunarch @orbitalmartian @amin

I simply do my best and take pride in my work.
