Random quotes about cj

[Crayder]

He could also do a set of his own quotes, like from here. That would be a pretty dope side features. We could take all of the more general quotes from that page, all of the ones that aren't directed at a specific person or anything like that. So like, we could take all of the quotes where he's stealing cars and stuff.

Should this be hard-coded or get them from database and add them to database with a command (/addquote [text])?

[Southclaws]

No need to add quotes manually, the bot is already logging every chat message from every channel (may need to minimise this to just the primary channel or ignore the admin channel soon, but that's another issue) so all that needs to happen is a query by username to the chat log table and pick a random entry. Should be possible with a single query and could be deferred to a goroutine if performance becomes an issue. SQLite should be fine for this job for now though.

[WopsS]

But what if that random entry is "Hello"? Should we send it?

[Southclaws]

We could count words (or other metrics) and only send messages marked as "interesting".

[Crayder]

What if we count a specific reaction as interesting? It would only count for admins who reacted with it. Use something random like 🍰.

If an admin reacts with 🍰 then that message will be considered interesting.

[Southclaws]

I'd prefer it to be automatic, we can use other metrics anyway. I didn't mean interesting from a semantic point of view, I just meant in terms of whether or not the message is worth reposting in response to what WopsS said about the message possibly being a single word.
