Ask Lemmy, Ouija Style

Well, since there are people asking there should be a bot posting final answer, so right now needs your opinion, due to lack to features in Lemmy:

1. There is no flair;
2. There is no ability to edit user’s post as mod;
3. There is no pinning comments function.

If you guys are fine for the just a generic bot reply in the comments, I will go and build one. Or if you have a better idea, comment about it

Also just a reminder that you can free to comment in this post.

Edit: Some people might not know what is this final answer bot. Back in the r/askouija, there is a bot running that will automatically set flair to Ouija says: <stuff> for the first answer with goodbye that is over a certain amount of upvotes. You can also customize it by setting a custom upvote threshold using “minscore: <num>”. The image below is what it looks like:

People have been asking for this bot since the beginning of this community that I always end up with finding it not feasible. Due to someone raising the question again recently, I decided to start this post to ask for some extra opinions.

Let's shake things up, shall we, spirits?

You see a nothing at a gallows, being prepared to face public execution--presumably for some crime. All of a sudden, fourteen underscores appear in the air, magically floating above the gallows. As if by instinct, you realise you must guess the letters of a phrase, to save that nothing from slowly turning into a man to be killed. Luckily, you're a spirit, with other spirits about--conveniently capable of speaking a single letter at a time, and assembling many letters in unison. You can prevent this nothing from turning into a very executable man.

Importantly, for some reason, you also know that spaces are not recognised as letters. That the fourteen-letter phrase could be multiple words. This mysterious voice in your head may also be playing tricks. Who can say for sure..

You don't understand how a nothing can turn into a man, or how a trial can be held for a nothing, or even how any of this amounts to any real-world logic whatsoever. However, you do recognise an opportunity--an opportunity to do something good. Probably.

With this in mind, what do you guess?

The nothing used to be a man--Gregory McFarlane was the name. If you save Greg, you get to know his crime (by writing history, if stuff wasn't nonsensical enough already). However, if you fail, your day will be brighened up by having to create his headstone. Oh, and his middle name, too. He won't be alive to care what it is.

Greg looked like this, before becoming nothing:

Six strikes, you realise. A letter bank below. Letters only--no spaces, numbers, specials or the like. You feel the possibility of a hint after three strikes. You also sense you can guess the entire phrase at once, if you're daring. A response is only heard after saying "Goodbye". Good luck, spirits.

STRIKES: 5/6

BAD LETTERS: A H I N X

HINT: Music
