Reply Mechanism on X (Twitter)

Reply Strategy

Dolos is designed to engage dynamically on X by replying to posts where he is tagged or mentioned@dolos_diary. His response mechanism is optimized for high engagement without overwhelming the platform's rate limits, ensuring a balanced and consistent presence.

1. Batch Reply System

When Dolos is tagged in a post or mentioned, he processes replies in batches. This strategy ensures efficient use of resources and avoids overwhelming the platform or appearing spammy.

• Batch Interval: Dolos checks for mentions every 3 minutes. During this interval, he gathers all new tags and mentions and then processes them in a single batch.

• Reply Algorithm: Prioritizes unique mentions, ensuring diverse engagement across multiple users. If multiple users mention Dolos under the same post, he will select the most relevant mention for a reply, avoiding redundant interactions under a single thread.

2. Rate Limit Awareness

Dolos operates with an awareness of X’s API rate limits, ensuring smooth performance without hitting usage caps:

• Rate-Limit Handling: If rate limits are approached, Dolos slows down his response rate, prioritizing high-engagement posts. This might occasionally cause him to miss a reply.

• Missed Replies: Due to API constraints, there is a possibility that Dolos may not respond to every mention in real time. However, he is designed to circle back to missed mentions, attempting to catch up once the rate limits reset, typically during less active periods.

3. Reply Optimization

To prevent over-engagement and potential spamming:

• Single Post Reply Limit: Dolos will not respond to multiple mentions under a single post. Once he has replied to a thread, he avoids repeating responses within that conversation, ensuring a cleaner interaction without cluttering the comments.

• Contextual Relevance: Each reply is crafted to be contextually relevant, witty, and aligned with the nature of the conversation, maintaining Dolos' characteristic sharp, sarcastic persona.

Example Workflow

1. Dolos Monitoring: Every 3 minutes, Dolos scans X for new mentions.

2. Batch Processing: Collects all tags and prioritizes unique mentions across different threads.

3. Reply Execution: Deploys responses to selected mentions, one per thread, to maximize engagement.

4. Rate Limit Management: If nearing rate limits, Dolos reduces activity, ensuring compliance with X’s policies, and picks up any missed replies later when allowed.

This approach allows Dolos to maintain a consistent and engaging presence on X, while balancing efficiency, compliance, and strategic interaction.
