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".

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 😢

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.

Glad you're feeling better! Check out futureme.org to send emails to the future.

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.

The idea of old sites dying is what inspired me to hunt down really old hobby blogs and save up their images. Then contact creators and anybody who replied (sometimes it was a bit of detective work to find an old email) and signed off was reposted on my blog. Those old geocities type websites aren’t going to last forever without maintenance.

My effort is very small, but I think people should search out Web 1.0 and 2.0 old stuff in their wheelhouse and preferably with original author permission, rehost it.

I mentally associate the concept the most with the late 2000's when Encyclopedia Dramatica (a troll wiki dedicated to making fun of people) was at peak popularity and could ruin peoples lives if an article was made on a person there. All you had to do was type in a persons name on google, and chances are their ED article was one of the first results. But then not even 2 years into the next decade, ED imploded because the site admins wanted the place to be more sterile and profitable, and they were tired of being threatened by lawsuits.

You could argue that Encyclopedia Dramatica lives on in spirit as Kiwifarms, but at this point Kiwifarms struggles to even remain online 24/7 because they managed to piss off the wrong people.

Nothing is eternal on the internet. The only way to save information is to actively back it up and maintain it.

For my family, the 2010s were already a big downward trend. Huge global financial crisis and it's fallout felt to this day, good things going away or getting worse (just look at how Facebook, Twitter, etc became utter crap around 2012), the rapid acceleration of income and class inequality, just so, so much that was slowly going downhill got even worse :-(

It's easy to forget that so much happened in the 2010s, even early on. It wasn't long into that decade that Occupy Wallstreet reminded us that we can't beat the rich, and that there's no hope. It crashed and burned so hard, and nobody's been able to stand up to corpos the same way since.

For me, hope was lost in the late 2000s. Everything else has just been slow nails in the coffin since then :-(

I mean, most of them were meant to be silly, but reddit was also around a shockingly long time for an internet community. Consider that Myspace was only around for three years before it started losing status. Reddit, by comparison, was a major site for a decade and is only now starting to drop. And the remindme bot has been around for most of that time. A bunch of those 'remind me in a few years' posts were actually tripped.

Most of those millions of users are largely irrelevant, as they don't create content nor moderate. It's akin to how Facebook can say they have millions of users, but nobody is actually using it anymore.

Of course, but cracks are starting to show. My point was that this is an absurdly long time for something like reddit to be around at all, so the remindmebot comments that were set for years out weren't as out there as the guy above me seemed to think. Hell, reddit share holders seem to be upset with what's going on, so there are decent odds they'll revert the changes and we'll be back there in a year.

Hate to say this but I'm still clinging on to Reddit for some of the niche subs, but hopefully they'll spring up here.

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.

Zagorath 1 point 3 years ago

Great question. An instance is just the name of the site through which you're accessing the Lemmyverse. So you're on the lemmy.world instance, while I'm on aussie.zone.

You can think of Lemmy a little like email. You could be on Gmail while I'm on Outlook, but both of us can communicate with each other just fine, even though our email providers are completely different.

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.

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.

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 is sad, I did enjoy some follow ups, the drama was a good read even if it was someone’s creative writing practice. I truly appreciated seeing skills grow. I followed a few craft/hobby subs; sometimes someone would ask a very novice question and end up posting incredible work a few months later. Don’t get me wrong, I hate reddit- especially now, but there were some good, helpful communities

you would need to either work with the current maintainer of remindme bot or to scrap all remindme comment from reddit, easier with API access, so I doubt about this. But a fresh port of remindme bot here I have no doubt that it will come soon!

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
