Oh man, this bums me out.
Don’t worry, the bot will still respond and it will get 10,000 upvotes from other bots and replies like “grond” and “15 years is 7889400 minutes” and “pass me the breastplate stretcher!” and the one real person left on reddit will smile and think “I love being part of such a large and thriving online community”.
Same :-(
I used to get a notification every year for some dude who had posted on reddit that he was alone on his birthday one year. He stopped replying several years ago, but I still messaged him each year at the prompt of remindme. So that’s also a use case.
You were a good bot, RemindMe. I want you to remember that.
!RemindMe to think of you. Good bot.
Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.
We didn’t need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn’t end up with them either.
Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.
Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!
I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.
It was sort of ambitious for people to think they’d be on reddit with the same account in 20 years
I don’t think so, reddit was so dominant that had they simply not decided to anger all their power users, we’d all still be on there like nothing had changed. A good platform has staying power, I’ve been on Steam for 16 years and I have no plans of bailing on it because it’s simply the best gaming platform I’ve ever used. It’s not game lock-in or anything, most of my games I could buy elsewhere or pirate, I just like having the features and all these other ones popping up like GOG Galaxy still aren’t overtaking it despite the good PR.
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
aka the great enshittification of '23
Thats how we gonna call this era arent we?
