Oh ya haha good point. There’s goes all my remind me posts. Oh well
Like shadows burned on the sides of buildings in Hiroshima
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.

Oh wow, I see what you mean. Love Bradbury. I got the Illustrated Man with that short in it.
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.
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.
some adbot or AI bot will try to sell it a porn subscription.
Awww, man.
Now I’m sad.
Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.
I’m right there with you. Can’t unthink it.
¡emdnimer
You were a good bot, RemindMe. I want you to remember that.
!RemindMe to think of you. Good bot.
Like tears in rain
Those who spez twice as fast spez half as long.
Time…to spez.
Would that bot even be functional long term with the API changes?
That was 2 months ago. At that time we still thought API prices will be reasonable
Woosh

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
I don’t hate reddit, I just hate what they’re doing to it…
Reddit is a magic feather. Moving to the Fediverse has never made me so sure of anything
😔
Kind of sad if you think about it… After my heart attack and open heart surgery, I had considered setting up a bot to randomly send an /r/aww or /r/funny link to my wife every day after I die. Glad I didn’t now. :(
Man, fuck and unwillingly cuck spez. Seriously.
I’m glad you’re still going bud.

Glad you’re feeling better! Check out futureme.org to send emails to the future. I believe whichever email address you send to needs to confirm that it’s ok, but then you can send emails years into the future. I’ve been using it since 2010 or so and trying to write a letter to myself every year that I’ll receive on my 50th bday. Sometimes my wife and I also write each other one too.
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.
Right in the feels.
Poor bot will be constantly woken up only to remember that there is no one to remind. Only the void.
Humanity will die its last death when the bots send their last reminder.
Well, I think there was one guy who wanted to be reminded about the heat death of the universe. Hopefully he set a reminder somewhere else, too.
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!
RemindMe bot is no longer functional following the API pricing change, and many Redditors are still unaware of this fact.
I thought bots were exempt from paying?
The unpopular ones can be used since they don’t reach the API calls free limit.
“what’re you gonna do, arrest me??” -RemindMeBot, maybe
!remindme 1 week Arrest RemindMeBot
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 looked it up now, and it does sound like Reddit made an exception for the reminder bot according to the bot’s dev: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/13yo8ay/will_the_reddit_api_change_kill_remindmebot/
Which means it couldn’t have been made now
This whole thing is really fucking stupid
Solid work, and solid username. I’m feeling better about the fediverse every day.
maybe remindme bot should pass through all API calls to Apollo and solve this whole moronic escape room detonation
You already escaped by being here. Why try to find a workaround to go back?
Oh shit no way, I didn’t know that? Is that the case for most of the random reddit bots? For some reason hearing that the RemindMe bot is dead as well makes me extra sad 😥
