I don’t think it’s a good idea, Reddit is already fucking itself up, it don’t need our “lies”

It this Nevermind by Nirvana?

What did I miss?

thanks!

What happened?

What may this cause to a casual fedora user?

Me reading this:

Can I install this 20yo software?

user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported

SUDO Can I install this 20yo software?

Is already installed.

Am I a bad person if I’m terribly happy of hearing about all these turmoils?

some people enjoys it, some people doesn’t. from wikipedia:

Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, for the purpose of non-commercial proselytizing, for any prohibited purpose (especially the fraudulent purpose of phishing), or simply repeatedly sending the same message to the same user.

the keyword is unsolicited: you don’t want it? just don’t add it to your communities. you want it? add it to your community. it doesn’t bother you at all if it’s unsolicited.

so you are able to not subscribe to it or even block it if you want

because most bots are spam doesn’t mean that all bots are spam. unrequested invasive bots are definitely spam, but bots that can be enabled or disabled freely do nothing wrong IMO

I absolutely agree, that’s why I made it togglable by anyone who likes

I surely will, compatibility with my free time!
I was thinking of making a community to discuss about lemmy bots development, with tutorials and requests

My fear is that some users want this bot, other does not, and so it will be added and removed 16 times/day by different users… if this happens I’ll reserve the mods the ability to add and remove it to their communities, but I hope that this won’t be necessary

fun fact, I’ve never liked them much neither XD but I wanted to try something easy to learn bot development on lemmy and a few users were waiting for this and so here I am!

It can be toggled by anyone but the toggle would affect the whole community atm, I’m not able to make its messages visible only so some users yet, although it would be very very nice! perhaps blocking the bot account can be a way to hide all its posts? I’ll think about this!
