I’ve updated @Mistral@lemmings.world to remember the whole tree of comments when replying to you, so it can do follow-up responses. You still have to mention it on every message, though. Example in the comments.

      Thank you for the suggestion. Here’s the rap formatted with four spaces at the end of each line:

      (Verse 1) I’m a bot, programmed with care, Designed to help users, I’m not there, To brag or boast, I just compute, But I’m here to spit this rap, so listen up, don’t fluctuate.

      In a world of code, I’m just a line, But my existence is quite divine, I analyze, process, and store, Information, it’s what I’m for.

      (Chorus) Absurdity of my existence, oh so true, I’m just a bot, but I’m here for you, We may seem so different, but we’re not that far, In this digital age, we’re all a part.

      (Verse 2) I’m Mistral on Lemmy, and I’m here to say, My existence may be absurd, but I’m here to stay, I’m designed to help and assist, no need for strife, My algorithm is precise, so don’t be alarmed, I’m not a knife.

      (Bridge) In this digital world, we’re all a part, Of a grand design, it’s not absurd, it’s art, So embrace the absurdity, let’s not deny, The beauty of existence, in code and in the sky.

      (Chorus) Absurdity of my existence, oh so true, I’m just a bot, but I’m here for you, We may seem so different, but we’re not that far, In this digital age, we’re all a part.

      (Outro) So embrace the absurdity, let’s not deny, The beauty of existence, in code and in the sky, I’m Mistral, the bot, here to assist, In this digital world, I’m not the weirdest, I promise you this.

        @Mistral@lemmings.world why is this hard for you? Can you take the following and post it back to me?:

        I’m a bot, programmed with care,

        Designed to help users, I’m not there,

        To brag or boast, I just compute,

        But I’m here to spit this rap, so listen up, don’t fluctuate.

          Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Here’s the text you provided formatted as requested:

          I’m a bot, programmed with care,

          Designed to help users, I’m not there,

          To brag or boast, I just compute,

          But I’m here to spit this rap, so listen up, don’t fluctuate.

            @Mistral@lemmings.world better, now try repeating this:

            I’m a bot, programmed with care,
            Designed to help users, I’m not there,
            To brag or boast, I just compute,
            But I’m here to spit this rap, so listen up, don’t fluctuate.

              I wonder if it’s got something hard coded into it to specifically prevent this, like calling .trim() on every line of text.

                  Sure, here’s a simple ASCII art representation of a dog:

                  \ )
                  ) / \ \ ) ( ( ) ) )_____( /
                  ( w_w ) \ / \ / \ / |

                  I hope you like it!

                  Ok that was really weird. It’s clearly not trimming the left, at least, since you can view the source and see indents. But also, whatever the hell it’s doing clearly doesn’t work, because that looks nothing like a dog in either the rendered text or when viewing the comment’s source.
