@ is normally used to refer to a user (see for example how gitea formats this post). It is counterintuitive to have this be the command instead.

I think it makes sense to switch to @logbot help or @logbot delete, as this is also a common way to refer to someone in non-programmatic environments, like emails for example. It would be nice to also keep the support for logbot: help, as this seems to be the XMPP-way to refer to someone?
And yes, it would be nice if logbot also listens to @Logbot with a capital "L"!
Thanks for making this issue @rra!
Hmm, some of the remarks refer back to the [xbotlib](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/decentral1se/xbotlib) library, others can be changed in the logbot code directly.
Regarding the request for **a more helpful response to misformed queries**: the help text can be edited in logbot directly
Regarding the **syntax of calling a bot**: this is based on the bot commands of xbotlib, see https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/decentral1se/xbotlib#commands.
