Would you guys be able to make use of an acronym helper bot?

Hi, I'm the maintainer of Decronym. You may have come across Decronym on the aliensite, especially in the spaceflight communities; it picks up on comments that contain acronyms (that are in its database), and drops a helpful top-level comment on the thread that it keeps up to date as more acronyms get used.

Decronym's now running on Lemmy, here's a comment it left in /c/spacex a few days ago. There are a few acronyms and other bits of jargon that get thrown around in the selfhosted space: VPS, Plex, Debian and such like... so I wondered if y'all would welcome Decronym making comments in threads here?

If that sounds like a good idea, drop a comment with some acronyms and definitions you'd like Decronym to keep in its database, and I can look into getting it set up. Thanks!

Just running my Plex server on my R710 with a few JBODs with lots of SAS HDDs without RAID.

So yeah Decronym would be awesome. I've enjoyed your bot on /r/spacex for the last few years. Glad to see you over here!

Saw someone talking about SoHo yesterday. Took me a bit to figure out what a neighborhood in NYC had to do with anything.

I would have assumed a neighborhood in London lol. what is soho in this context?

Not 100 percent sure but Google gave me Small office/Home office
