This is awesome! Where can we see McKenna Bot in action?

@epetakov Thank you! I had it running on a raspberry pi and it commented on the subreddits in the SUBREDDITS array, but I haven't ran it in a couple years. I'll set it back up one of these days. Feel free to copy it and run it yourself it you want!
