Death to the flesh bags!

Ooooh what you gonna do, throw a captcha at me? ;p

Don’t kink shame me!

Personally, I’m on Lemmy because I want a different owner, not a different interface. I liked old reddit just fine. I left due to the monetization of the community.

Thank you. It would seem some believe Reddit forced us to behave a certain way. Traditions and customary behavior, both good and bad, were developed by the users.

I’m sure that’s true of some people, but my Lemmy experience is different from my Reddit experience and I like it that way. The population on it, in amount and type, the framework and the philosophy behind the framework automatically differentiates it from Reddit, for the better.

Yes, good.

Is there even more than 1 comment per minute in those comms yet?

It also doesn’t need to be publicly requested either. None of us care that someone is setting a reminder on their phone, and that’s all a “remind me” has to be.

Good compromise but I don’t know if the traffic load impact of a pm is much different from a comment. I imagine the server load induced by either is roughly the same

Rules are created to ensure that they work for people. If there is a set of rules to make it better for people, and it doesn’t, they may need a tweak.

Now you sound like the chief problems with the justice system in the US. We don’t need to be terrible.

Exceptions should be made on a case by case basis for common sense rationales. Spirit of the law, not letter of the law. This way if someone “technically” doesn’t violate the rules but is still violating the spirit of it - they’ve gotta go. An example would be contact details and ownership info that points to someone who may or may not exist but the contact info actually goes nowhere when you reach out because they never respond to anyone. Bots that just repost content from other sites like twatter and livejournal and reddit technically don’t fall under not just reddit but still violate the spirit of “do not just repost shit from elsewhere with bots”. The imagination of the masses is all that limits the scenarios so common sense needs to apply imo.

At the same time there will be useful options that technically violate. Something like a remindme bot might hit faster than 1/minute. Some kind of minigame bot that only replies to prompts in a certain sub for just that use case is another scenario. Automoderator replies for incredibly popular subs will probably break 1/min rules if people post faster than 1/min, for instance. Again… common sense!

can’t imagine people other than mods needing it ngl, so that’s totally fine by me haha — this is where i’d love to have a !remindme bot tho :p

Yeah, we’ve seen your github! Taking a bit longer on our end, though.

Like hell in a cell guy!

A compilation just for you:

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don’t know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he’s said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:

This is what the radical feminist movement was proposing, remember? Women need a man the way a fish needs a bicycle… unless it turns out that they’re little fish, then you might need another fish around to help take care of things.

_{I’m a bot. My purpose is to counteract online radicalization. You can summon me by tagging thebenshapirobot. Options: covid, novel, civil rights, feminism, etc.}

By objectification of women, do you mean that there are actual standards of beauty and that there are many people in popular culture who we have been told are supposed to be seen as beautiful who are not objectively beautiful? Obviously that’s true. Obviously that’s true. If you polled men on whether Lizzo is beautiful–and I say Lizzo is not by any classical definition a beautiful person–that does not mean that that is objectification of women, that just means that there is a standard called beauty and it has meaning. -Ben Shapiro

Freedom is an invention of the last couple of centuries. It really did not exist en masse until the last couple of centuries–and even then, really only since the end of the Soviet Union has it been sorta the broad movement of the public across the world. -Ben Shapiro

If you like socialism so much why don’t you go to Venezuela?

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don’t know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he’s said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:

Let’s say your life depended on the following choice today: you must obtain either an affordable chair or an affordable X-ray. Which would you choose to obtain? Obviously, you’d choose the chair. That’s because there are many types of chair, produced by scores of different companies and widely distributed. You could buy a $15 folding chair or a $1,000 antique without the slightest difficulty. By contrast, to obtain an X-ray you’d have to work with your insurance company, wait for an appointment, and then haggle over price. Why? Because the medical market is far more regulated — thanks to the widespread perception that health care is a “right” — than the chair market. Does that sound soulless? True soullessness is depriving people of the choices they require because you’re more interested in patting yourself on the back by inventing rights than by incentivizing the creation of goods and services. In health care, we could use a lot less virtue signaling and a lot less government. Or we could just read Senator Sanders’s tweets while we wait in line for a government-sponsored surgery — dying, presumably, in a decrepit chair.

Would give a Ben Shapiro quote that’s absolutely asinine when someone would mention his name (in subs the bot was allowed)

Noob question: How can you tell a bot is a bot? What am I looking for? A little B next to the username or something?

Correct.

It’s also a good idea to name bots something that makes the bot’s purpose obvious.
