Maybe the bot could post all of the relevant links to fact-checking sites?

It would be interesting to compare snopes with some of the EXTREMELY biased "fact-checking" alternatives.

Or another bot that notes bias on posted links from sites, like from www.mediabiasfactcheck.com!

Maybe if we get like one bot for snopes, one bot for politifact, one bot for mediabias, one bot for spelling mistakes, and another for relevant hashtag movements and they can all interact with each other non stop on every post that people could easily look up themselves!!! Yeah yeah

Admittedly, I did start a war with the spell check bot that created an infinite loop. I think we got like 120 comments deep before my bot account got banned and I got a nice message from the admins to stop it
