Good news! You can now summon AmputatorBot to reply to comments and submissions containing AMP links!

​

AmputatorBot is active on every subreddit by default since 03-04-2022. You can still summon AmputatorBot in cases when for instance:

​

Literally just @ u/AmputatorBot, like so:

u/AmputatorBot

Then, AmputatorBot does its magic and replies with the canonical and a quick shout-out to your comment (linked). It will then send you a DM with the link to the posted comment for you to see and upvote. If stuff goes wrong, you'll receive a detailed DM with what went wrong and the canonical (if one was found) for you to share yourself.

​

​

The idea for this functionality originates with u/zellotron who said:

Is it possible to summon AmputatorBot in a subreddit not listed above? e.g. with /u/AmputatorBot[1] (...) doesn't mentioning a user send them a notification/message? I was thinking it could listen for these instead of looking at all subreddits.

After going back-and-forward for a bit, I got it all to work! So thx to u/zellotron!

I honestly am not fussed about AMP or not and I don't really think most people care as it doesn't seem to affect most people, so I think they should do away with this anti-AMP bot.

u/killed_mufasa it appears your bot is misinterpreting twitter urls as amplinks.

See e.g. here: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/t7qti1/comment/hzjzy7p/

It appears that the link goes to twitter directly, but contains a reference to amp in there (twcamp). Could you check if this is a false positive for the bot?

Looks like it gets it wrong when a Twitter link is posted. I posted a link to https://twitter.com/MTVteenwolf/status/1525175857068879874[1] on r/SupermanAndLois (it's a tweet about the actor who plays Superman reprising his old Teen Wolf role), and the bot tried to correct me by linking to https://mobile.twitter.com/mtvteenwolf/status/1525175857068879874[2] - which has mobile in the url and so is actually the AMP link. I actually did post the canonical link in the first place.

I got amputation bits message under one of my links from the Cleveland health clinic website and I’m wondering what this is about and why it’s bad??? It said something about privacy??? I’m like close to boomer status when it comes to understand a lot of the tech world even tho I’m millennial/gen z cusp (1997 so technically gen z but do not relate to most of my gen at all)

I posted a Mastodon link— https://dice.camp/@mytholder@bird.makeup/110887178155462256[1] —that the bot flagged[2]. (The original is a bot reposting a Twitter account.)

I like the bot, but I’m not quite sure I understand. Why don’t we like AMP? What made you make this one? I’m genuinely interested.
