Пошлый дед: A Troll Bot for Group Chats

The chat has gone quiet, or two friends have been arguing for three hours about who is right? Пошлый дед (the Vulgar Grandpa) makes the evening livelier: he joins the group and starts commenting on everything, loudly, boldly and with no brakes. 👴

It is a bot for group chats. It describes itself as one that replaces your opponent in an argument, keeps the fights going, drives people up the wall, spreads kindness and does harm to the good.

The grandpa who pokes his nose in everywhere

The bot's profile says it exists to raise the level of absurdity in chats. In other words it has one job: to liven up a conversation, sometimes sharply and with profanity.

This is entertainment for people who know each other. He jumps into arguments, teases members and tosses out joke advice. Neutral, business-like talk is not his thing.

• An argument without the opponent. If the other person left, the grandpa answers in their place.
• Stirring up the thread. He throws in remarks when the chat goes silent.
• Predictions. The /pred command gives a joke fortune from the grandpa.

Seating the grandpa in your chat

The principle is simple: add the bot to a group like any other member. After that it works on its own.

1. Open the bot's profile and tap the button to add it to a group.
2. Pick the chat from the list.
3. Confirm the addition.
4. Write something and see how the grandpa reacts.

The /start command inside the bot will also show you how. It is wise to begin with a small chat of friends to get a feel for his manner.

Ads in the profile

The bot's description mentions ad placement, so promotional messages may appear in the chat. That is a common model for free entertainment bots.

If ads in your group annoy you, talk it over with the members. They have the right to decide whether they want this bot at all. 📢

What to keep in mind before switching him on

Rude humor is funny only when everyone is in on it. A joke one person takes as a laugh, another may take as an insult.

• Ask the chat. Add the bot with the consent of most members.
• Check who is in the group. A bot like this is out of place among coworkers, teachers or relatives.
• Remember the age. Content with swearing and crude jokes is meant for adults.
• Watch the tone. If teasing turns into bullying, the bot has to go.

When a joke goes too far

A group admin can always remove the bot or limit its rights. You do that in the chat settings, as with any other member.

The bot only amplifies what is already in the conversation. If the chat is tense, it will not fix that and may make it worse. ⚠️

Where he fits and where he does not

He behaves best in a chat where people have known each other for years and are used to sharp jokes. There his lines read as part of a shared game.

In a big open group full of strangers everything changes. Someone who does not know the rules may take offense at the bot's jab and leave the chat. Think in advance about who will read it.

A good move is to announce that the grandpa is on trial and ask if everyone enjoyed it. After a couple of days it will be clear whether to keep him. 🤝

Who the grandpa is good for

Groups of friends with the same sense of humor, gaming clubs and student chats. He gives a reason to laugh and to remember a shared chat that has been silent for ages.

If you want a serious assistant, look elsewhere. The grandpa was not made for that. 😄
