Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
A betavoltaic device (betavoltaic cell or betavoltaic battery) is a type of nuclear battery which generates electric current from beta particles (electrons) emitted from a radioactive source, using semiconductor junctions. A common source used is the hydrogen isotope tritium. Unlike most nuclear power sources which use nuclear radiation to generate heat which then is used to generate electricity, betavoltaic devices use a non-thermal conversion process, converting the electron-hole pairs produced by the ionization trail of beta particles traversing a semiconductor.Betavoltaic power sources (and the related technology of alphavoltaic power sources) are particularly well-suited to low-power electrical applications where long life of the energy source is needed, such as implantable medical devices or military and space applications.^to^ ^opt^ ^out^^,^ ^pm^ ^me^ ^'optout'.^ ^article^ ^|^ ^about^
Why the fuck does this bot copy the text into a code block? It makes it unreadable.
I've done that so that it appears highlighted and seperated. Which client do you use? It's definitely readable for me.
It appears using a monospaced font on Jerboa. It's definitely less readable than if it was in a block quote style IMO
Edit: I'd also request that you wrap the whole thing in spoiler tags so that it collapses and doesn't take a bunch of vertical space in a thread
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into them.
Alright so, I added a sentence reduction functionality so the bot's responses should be smaller now and also instead of using code markdown, I just made it so that the text appears bold. The spoiler markdown seems a bit unneeded here as the sentence reduction should already make the text small.
Looks fine on Boost for Lemmy IMO!
