This is the best showerthought I’ve seen in ages.
I think I’m going to like it here!
remind me 5 years
I was here in the beginning
@[email protected] remind me in 2 days and 3 seconds
some adbot or AI bot will try to sell it a porn subscription.
Well, shit, there were 3 things I asked it to remind me, which I clearly don’t remember anymore already.
Same boat
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I’m sick of sight without a sense of feelingThankfully, they’ll remind you wh- oh wait.
Same boat
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 :-(
Hello fellow blue name person.
I learned it from you a few days ago! Rather, I read your response to another inquiry. Thanks for not knowledge hogging!

I won’t be around to be told ‘i told you so’. They will be speaking into the wind.
As much as I’ll miss Remindme!Bot, I’m going to miss all those LotR-Bots a lot more. 🥺
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.

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
fck you descriptivist
You mean prescriptivist? 😅
(beep boom I’m a human)
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”
The “I before E” rule is weird.
Yeah… A lot of exceptions to that rule, mainly because of how the English language developed.
I after E, except after C; when it sounds like “ee”.
I after E, except after C; when it sounds like “ee”.
…or when sounded like “ay” as in “neighbor” or “weigh”.
Actually, let me double check that with my foreign buddies Keith and Heidi, they’ve got eight children who are all cops and busted a major counterfeit heist the other day. Weird, right?
Man, English blows.
Gimme Newspeak already. The world isn’t cyberpunk enough yet.
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.
I wish there were more. I just found out at work that “deprecated” and “depreciated” are different words, it was so embarrassing.
In your defense they have pretty similar meanings.

That one was good. I also liked the one that counted how many times someone has said the n word, but I do not think the n word is allowed here (which is better).
Here on which instance? That’s the nice part about Lemmy, those rules are set per instance.
My favorite was the would of/would’ve bot.
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.
People whose first language isn’t English (and especially people who apologize for their English) almost invariably type perfectly, lol
I kind’ve feel the same way.
I seen alot of people who type the same way. Their so dumb.
I see what you did they’re
Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.
My favorite bot was AutoMod. The 3rd party app I used allowed me to block that bot, which was always the top post in every single thread.
wait so you liked it because you could block it? I fucking hated automod BECAUSE i always had to block it.
@[email protected] 5 years “Lets see if this works”
Get all of the remindme bots going haha
@[email protected] remind me in 5 years
@[email protected] remind me in 5 years
Have to learn some rust and thought it couldn’t hurt to develop a Remind Me bot ^^
Gotcha! I’ll remind you at Monday, February 21, 2028, 6:44:37 PM UTC.
Okay I’ll remind you on 2028-7-15 10:37:32 UTC
@[email protected] 30 years
@afoutopatisa Ok, I will remind you on Wednesday Jul 9, 2053 at 9:22 AM PST.
Good bot
@[email protected] 5 years
@[email protected] 1 year
@attero @orion2145 (dev here) we currently don’t support setting reminders that last for years
Like shadows burned on the sides of buildings in Hiroshima
Wow, what a coincidence. I was just there for in the museum for the first (and probably only) time in life and the next moment I open Lemmy, I read this.
No. I am willing to ignore a lot of idiotic crap on the internet. But no, you cannot compare literal lives lost to a stupid Reddit bot.
It’s a joke, mate.
Yes exactly. Wait. What?
I think they are talking about this but I don’t exactly see how this is related to the topic
There’s a short story by Ray Bradbury about an automated house that survives a nuclear blast. The shadows of the children throwing a ball are on the house outside, and inside the robots continue to service a family that’s no longer there. That’s what it reminds me of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Will_Come_Soft_Rains_(short_story)
Oh wow, I see what you mean. Love Bradbury. I got the Illustrated Man with that short in it.
Would that bot even be functional long term with the API changes?
deleted by creator
I was thinking more that even if the bot still works, which it could, that most/many users won’t be on there platform to see it. They’ve abandoned and/or deleted their accounts.
That was 2 months ago. At that time we still thought API prices will be reasonable
Woosh
Awww, man.
Now I’m sad.
Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.
I’m right there with you. Can’t unthink it.
