'''Make it a Quote''' is a Quote-image service and collection of social-media bots operated by {{ll|Neodyland}}. It turns a message or post into a shareable image containing its text, the author's display name and username, and their avatar.

The service is available on Discord, Bluesky, and services in the Fediverse, including Misskey. The way a Quote is requested differs between platforms, while the generated images share the same basic designs and options.

== Operation == <!--T:7-->

On Discord, users can reply to a message and mention the bot. They can also use the <tvar name=message-command>{{code|Make it a Quote}}</tvar> message command from Discord's Apps menu. The bot replies with a generated Quote image.

On Bluesky, users reply to a post and mention the <tvar name=bsky-mention>{{code|@miq.moe}}</tvar> account. The requesting account must follow the bot. The bot generates a Quote from the parent post and publishes it as an image reply. The separate <tvar name=remove-account>{{code|@remove.miq.moe}}</tvar> account accepts requests to delete images posted by the bot.

On Discord, a generated Quote includes controls for changing compatible options and selecting a font or theme. The author of the quoted message and the user who generated it can remove the generated response.

<!--T:58-->

Discord also provides Custom Quote. It creates a Quote from user-entered text and attributes it to a selected server member. Custom Quote is generated only when the applicable user and server settings allow it.

 

Generation options can be written after the bot mention. Boolean options have a full name and a one-letter alias. On Discord, options specified for a request override the user's saved defaults.

=== light (l) === <!--T:13-->

Specifying <tvar name=light>{{code|light}}</tvar> or <tvar name=l>{{code|l}}</tvar> uses the white design.

The avatar is shown in color in the white design, so the separate [[#color_(c)|{{code|color}}]] option has no additional visual effect while <tvar name=light>{{code|light}}</tvar> is active.

=== color (c) === <!--T:16-->

In the default dark design, the avatar is normally shown in grayscale. Specifying <tvar name=color>{{code|color}}</tvar> or <tvar name=c>{{code|c}}</tvar> keeps it in full color.

Specifying <tvar name=flip>{{code|flip}}</tvar> or <tvar name=f>{{code|f}}</tvar> swaps the placement of the avatar and text in the standard layout. It has no effect on the [[#new_(n)|{{code|new}}]] layout.

=== bold (b) === <!--T:21-->

Specifying <tvar name=bold>{{code|bold}}</tvar> or <tvar name=b>{{code|b}}</tvar> draws the Quote text in bold. On Discord, enabling this option selects M PLUS Rounded 1c as the font.

=== new (n) === <!--T:23-->

Specifying <tvar name=new>{{code|new}}</tvar> or <tvar name=n>{{code|n}}</tvar> uses a portrait design with the avatar above the text instead of the standard landscape design.

=== font === <!--T:25-->

=== theme === <!--T:27-->

Donors can select a theme by specifying <tvar name=theme>{{code|theme{{=}}<theme name>}}</tvar> or one of its aliases. A non-default theme determines its own background and text colors and uses the standard landscape design; <tvar name=light>{{code|light}}</tvar>, <tvar name=color>{{code|color}}</tvar>, and <tvar name=new>{{code|new}}</tvar> do not apply while it is selected.

== Text and emoji == <!--T:59-->

<!--T:60-->

For Discord messages, Make it a Quote preserves supported message formatting, including bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and block quotes. Formatting that is not rendered in the Quote is removed without removing its text.

Unicode emoji are rendered using [<tvar name=twemoji>https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji</tvar> Twemoji]. Discord custom emoji are resolved from their emoji identifiers. When content originates from Misskey, the originating instance is used to resolve custom emoji such as <tvar name=misskey-emoji>{{code|:emoji_name:}}</tvar> and <tvar name=remote-misskey-emoji>{{code|:emoji_name@host:}}</tvar>.

== Discord settings == <!--T:62-->

 

<!--T:63-->

Server administrators can configure the bot language, generation cooldown, allowed or blocked roles, and <tvar name=always-quote>{{code|Always Quote}}</tvar> channels, in which every message is quoted without a mention. Generated Quotes can also be redirected to another channel.

 

== History == <!--T:35-->

The initial version of Make it a Quote was created by suzuneu and was subsequently developed with Khsmty. As its operating costs and maintenance needs grew, the service was transferred to Neodyland, and both developers joined the organization.

The service initially focused on Discord. It later expanded to Misskey and the wider Fediverse, followed by Bluesky.

Neodyland currently operates and maintains Make it a Quote, including its website, platform integrations, and image generation system.

== Development == <!--T:39-->

<!--T:40-->

The current image generator and Discord integration are implemented primarily in [[w:Rust (programming language)|Rust]]. The Bluesky integration is implemented in [[w:TypeScript|TypeScript]].

<!--T:41-->

The source code for the image generator and the Discord and Bluesky integrations is proprietary and is not publicly available.

<!--T:42-->

Some supporting resources, including Discord localization data, are maintained publicly through the ''miq4d'' organization on [[w:GitHub|GitHub]].
