Questions? Ask away in #hashtagbot:t2bot.io⁠

This is a silly bot, and a absurd usage of the groups API. Using it for #serious #business is discouraged.

2. Send a message like #sillybots

⁠Building your own

Note: You'll need to have access to an account that the bot can use to get the access token.

1. Clone this repository
2. npm install
3. npm run build
4. Copy config/default.yaml to config/production.yaml
5. Run the bot with NODE_ENV=production node lib/index.js
