Using the public bot

The public bot comes with absolutely no warranty. I will try my best to maintain it, but I cannot guarantee that it will always work perfectly. Meanwhile, you should "fair use" the bot, avoid subscribing to too many RSS feeds.
If you use the public bot in your Channel, consider mentioning the bot (or this project) in your channel description (or pinned message) to let more people know about it. That's not a compulsion.
