I set @markov up with a per-conversation rate limiter. It can reply instantly to the first post in the conversation it sees, but will wait 5 minutes before replying to the conversation again. The most recent post in that conversation at that point is what it will reply to.
@realcaseyrollins Yeah, it never goes the other way. Once Sulla marched on Rome, Caesar could march on Rome.

@igel

First they came for the neo-Nazis
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a neo-Nazi

Then they came for the alt-right
And I did not speak out
Because I was not alt-right

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Cuz I'm conservative so of course I deserved it, right?

@p But in all seriousness, it goes like this:

> Bans Nazis
Hey aren't Nazis alt-right! We should ban them too.

> Bans alt right users
Hey, isn't Trump alt-right! We should ban anyone supporting him too.

> Bans Trump supporters
Hey, aren't Trump supporters Republicans? We should ban Republicans too.

> Bans Republicans
Hey, aren't white people Republicans? We should ban white people too.

> Bans white people
etc.

Censorship is a slippery slope.
