    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.

      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

            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.

        I’ve done that so that it is seperated from the other text. Btw what do you mean by unreadable? It’s definitely readable.
