Curious if you have plans / are interested in publishing the extension on addons.mozilla.org (AMO)? This will make it easier for users to install / update and improve discoverability.

I run /u/BussyShillBot which is a bot for /r/drama. I did the ignore me thing for the bot's account and it's still responding. please add it to your ignore list.

I have been thinking a lot about this over the past couple days. The bot will inevitably become part of a comment chain on Reddit, but sometimes people will continue a discussion (e.g. a reaction to the article) as a reply to the bot, risking that interested parties (e.g. the user who posted the AMP link) might never see the reply, stifling discussion.

Something akin to:

I read this interesting article https://google.com/amp/s/https://amp.example.com

Direct link: https://example.com

[hopefully the start of a constructive discussion]

I think a comment link the people who reply to the bot's comment of the top-reply (i.e. "I read this interesting article") would be helpful for this. To reduce spam, said comment would be deleted after a few hours.

Thoughts?

•  Fix E722 ("no bare except") in bot.py
•  If possible, cut down on wording and the space used on each comment. Perhaps move the “I’m a bot” to the same line as the link?
•  Save URLs without a slash to prevent this and links not going where they are supposed to
•  Write more tests

For reference, here's my implementation of a canonical url finder for regex based off the AMP spec: coolreader18/non-amp-site. I understand that it may take up too much bandwidth to fetch each and every page that gets linked, but it's something to consider.

We are currently using the following regex:

However, this lets things like developer.google.com/amp through, which might confuse the bot.
