Description

As someone who often calls the OCRbot on other people's posts when they forget alt text, I'd like to be able to do so without polluting my own timeline.

I'd like to delete my post after OCRbot replies to it, but I can't because that breaks threads. It would be great if the bot could reply to the original message (and mention me as before).

Research direction

No file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating the Python code that handles an OCR request and posts the bot reply, then trace how the original post and requester are represented. Done means the bot replies to the original message, mentions the requester as before, and still performs OCR without requiring a timeline post to remain.
