Now no one will ever see all those super long !remindme bot posts set for 5, 10 or 15 years on Reddit

Hello fellow blue name person.

The unpopular ones can be used since they don't reach the API calls free limit.

I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn't an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won't spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

"what're you gonna do, arrest me??" -RemindMeBot, maybe

Me too. Should have thought about that before I nuked my history...

Damn, I wonder if it's the same guy. The post I originally saw him on had a bunch of people hopping on to the remindme thing, but its impossible to know how many followed through.

I didn't mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell "neither" if I just remember the e comes before the i... that's the problem.

It's like saying "if you want to be rich just get more money" or "NASCAR is easy cuz it's all left turns"

I wish there were more. I just found out at work that "deprecated" and "depreciated" are different words, it was so embarrassing.

I always thought it's funny to see such a spelling bot on linguistics themed subs where everyone was like "fck you descriptivist" and they were downvoted into oblivion

I mean, I like knowing when I'm saying something incorrectly, and learning the correct way to say it. I value communication through text a lot because I have some issues with communicating verbally, so I like to know how to properly write what I want to say. So I didn't mind the grammar/spelling bots as long as they were polite about it, they were just providing accessibility to knowledge, at least in my eyes. It was the rude or condescending ones I didn't like.

Here on which instance? That's the nice part about Lemmy, those rules are set per instance.

wait so you liked it because you could block it? I fucking hated automod BECAUSE i always had to block it.

I feel like I haven’t seen a single person use “could of” or “would of” here.

The defense on Reddit was always “NOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGE”

I don’t have the largest sample size, but I’ve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isn’t English.

I think they are talking about this but I don't exactly see how this is related to the topic

It's a joke, mate.

Epoxy hotdog guy returns to reddit after a 5 year hiatus:

Look up whathowwhy on YouTube. He's a dude from the UK who puts stuff into epoxy. A few years a go he put a hotdog into a cube of epoxy and would do periodic video updates on the hotdog. One year I actually watched the New Years Eve livestream of the hotdog slowly spinning on a dias. He'd put a little party hat on it and the live chat was absolutely hilarious.

A guy put a hotdog in epoxy...

And is checking in periodically with videos showing if it's decayed or stayed pristine in its cryogenic epoxy prison.

In their FAQ nothing is sent to the recepient until the letter is sent. This seems like such a great service until you realize email providers, and addresses aren't permanent.

I've been with my husband 20+ years, I had 10+ email addresses when we met, and so did he. I love the idea, but wish there was a non-digital option for these things.

Digitally, if we could register a non-first-level domain for 40-50 years we could set up our own family email severs, with scheduled messages.

Yep, it's just Murphy's Law of data: everything you regret posting will be in public archives forever, everything you want to preserve will have gotten deleted the next time you try to find it.

Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.

All Reddit had to do was leave things alone and the community would keep chugging along.

You realize reddit hasn't died and still has millions of users?

You can make separate accounts on each instance, or you can access content on other instances from your instance. Unfortunately when you click on a URL someone shares that takes you out of your instance, but you can copy/paste that URL into your instance's search box to access that post from your instance.

@mausy5043 Ok, I will remind you on Wednesday Jul 5, 2023 at 3:03 PM PDT.

Maybe one and a half.

Capitalism killed it. That's how things go. They are great for a while then get too big and have to keep growing for some reason. The pursuit of perpetual growth ruins everything

Agreed. Have been on Steam for almost 19 years. Nothing has really degraded as far as the service goes, and Valve's approach to listening to community feedback is good. We've saw controversy, mainly Paid Mods and CS:GO gambling, both have been taken care of for the most part due to community pushback. I can't think of a controversy that has made me want to leave the service though. With Reddit, it was a slow decline to its death on July 1st.

Yahoo answers held on for decades after it was relevant, I'm sure Reddit will be around in 15 years.

Sadly, Remindbot will be reminding a ghost town populated only by other bots

had they simply not decided to anger all their power users

It was Huffman. It was inevitable.

I suppose I still have an account from 2009 that I don’t ever use. I went through at least two dozen others that I deleted since then though.

But when was the RemindMe bot created?

I’d revive yahoo groups in a heartbeat if it is revived with the same feature set

SAME, why did Yahoo shut down, there were so many incredible things to it (but I like forums, too)

Edit: I'm dumb and misspoke, Yahoo itself didn't shut down but a lot of things in it did

Time...to spez.

@lemonadebunny Ok, I will remind you on Wednesday Jul 5, 2023 at 2:43 PM PDT.

Wonder how long until someone makes a lemmy instance for only bots, with some cool domain like @lemmy.bot

Then we don't have to remember all of the domains, and we can get easy to remember bots like;

remindme@lemmy.bot

@lemonadebunny Here is your reminder!

dementia

!Remind me, eventually

dementia

Will it still work after the API changes though? I'm assuming whomever runs that bot doesn't want to pay through the ass to continue posting.

Maybe it was sub specific then…

I believed.

Good bot

This is the u/remindmebot we all need.

Marv was the best bot ever.

That was 2 months ago. At that time we still thought API prices will be reasonable
