A weird thing about running a bunch of bots is that there are a lot of people who like to reply to bots. At first I was confused (it’s a bot, there's not a person there!) but then I realized a) there is a person there—me and b) each bot-post is a conversation prompt, that people might choose to pursue in their replies.

Today I think it's nice. Each bot-post is like a small sunken object in a shallow sea that a little reef might form around, supporting some life, if only for a while.
