at least there are no grammar nazi bots, yet
“Pardon the interruption, but there appears to be a mistake in your 3 words reply. Here is a 5 paragraphs post, explaining the history of language starting from mesozoic era and extracts from 5 dictionaries on the word you just misspelled”
and then they make a separate bot for each possible mistake, so you have to block them over and over.
“your post is written in alphabetical order”
Most useless bot ever
“Hello frustrated by the recent changes, I’m Dadbot.”
Exists for no reason but to spam.
That one was fun, rare enough to not be a bother
O look my post has 6 comments… Fucking bot.
The bot is god damn annoying at this point. There’s hardly anyone who cares enough about “pRiVaCy” as if we all aren’t logged into lemmy using our god damn google accounts
I can’t imagine anyone that concerned about privacy is so unprepared and unknowledgable online that they need the internet to cater privacy alternatives for them.
“I dOn’T wAnT mY dAtA aLL oUt ThErE!!!”
“Totally understandable. So what steps are you taking?”
“PeOpLe HaVe tO dO iT FoR mE!!”
So now we all must suffer?
Yea at this point im just putting on a show for all the hackers watching on my camera
Bro I LOVE that bot wtf are you on about?
I’ll just demonstrate…
Edit - of course the one time I want the bot to show up, it doesn’t work.
It didn’t respond with a thousand replies, must be under maintenance to fix that so it doesn’t respond to itself anymore
Screenshot of what’s happening for the uninitiated. Bot keeps posting YouTube links and then replying to itself because it detects a YouTube link.
Someone needs to make a PR to add a check for the username of the commenter that they’re replying to. Should be a simple conditional check.
Reminds me of back when it was possible for two out-of-office message services to get stuck in an endless loop
I killed an old exchange server with an auto reply to a coworker who had an auto reply to me.
Those were the good old days.
You’ve fallen for one of the classic blunders! Never let a bot reply to itself!
ahh, I rember that old time I wanted to make a “your mom bot” for discord, one of the function was saying “No, your mom” when someone said in a phrase “your mom”, little did I know that discord bots read their own messages if you don’t check it
Just thinking of this makes me laugh
If anyone uses sync, there’s a setting to hide the PipedLinkBot posts
I just blocked the user 🤷
Very cool that you can link settings to an app, though.
Lmao, this was the first opportunity I had to post a link to settings. I got way too excited. I need to get out more I guess
I got excited too when I clicked it and it worked!
What does the UI for a settings page link look like? They just have a share button in settings?
Just long press and it auto copies a link to that setting. Pretty neat
Already done, but thanks for the PSA!
Thank you!
Muhaha.
Video made me lol.
Invidious, Piped, etc. instances come and go. We shouldn’t link to them and break links.
let’s just install LibRedirect or Privacy Redirect extention and just pick our own.
As far as I can tell that’s another way to link to piped.kavin.rocks aka not any instance but rather the official one, I highly doubt that will go away…
If I could get either LibRedirect or Privacy Redirect in my Firefox based mobile browser I totally would. I’m just not 100% sure whether or not the feature from Firefox Beta allowing for using collections of desktop extensions- if the extension you want even works on mobile- has come to normal Firefox for android yet.
I am sure I saw an app on F-Droid that can do redirects, but cannot recall the name right now.
For Piped you can install LibreTube and set it to open YT and a bunch of Piped links by default.
It also doesn’t work properly if you share a clip from a YouTube video
The link it posts just takes you to the full video
Does piped support clips at all? I guess not, cuz the bot basically just swaps YouTube.com for piped.whatever so piped is handling the /clip/… but only playing the whole video
And then you have the auto tldr bot.
He’s better than the decepti tldr con.
I absolutely hate that bot
Which is actually useful. Especially for articles with a pay/loginwall.
The what ?
the auto tldr bot
I blocked that bot long ago. I don’t want to see a website being advertised on every video link on every Lemmy instance.
I love the Ruby/Sapphire version of that annoying trumpet

Invidious so the bot doesn’t go crazy
Reminds me of this
PipedLinkBot today replied to my link which wasn’t a YouTube video…
I gave it a “u good bot?”
Beepity boopity: Link to comment where it happened
Be a friend of the FOSS, open a GitHub issue.
Edit: actually I see someone did. I added a link to your post as another example.
Thanks for contributing my comment to that issue!
I do that kinda shit all the time with my personal scripts, mistakes happen.
This happened quite a few times on Reddit with multiple bots.
I think its great to avoid YT.
Yes Iautomatically open YT links with invideous.
