It’s an April Fools event that has been done twice, most recently in 2022. I wasn’t aware that they were holding the event again so soon, but it appears it’s starting on July 20..
It’s incredible how much the prices have fallen and that’s how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering....
I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries…...
The official Reddit app doesn't work on older phones, guess I'm out of luck. I can afford a new phone, but I don't feel it's worth it to buy a new phone just for one app.
I made a bot to repost official announcements for a game I play. Ideally, a day will come where the company makes the announcements themselves on Lemmy and my bot is no longer needed, but until then, the owner of the sub has granted me permission to use my bot.
My bot makes about one or two posts per day. Other people in this thread have mentioned certain bots making posts every couple minutes, which many people would find quite excessive.
Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.
Someone told me that using a script to delete your posts/comments might be detectable by the Reddit admins. It might be easier to get away with manually editing + deleting your posts/comments, though a random sleep could also work.
It's sad that power mods like Turtle have made many people think that all mods are like him.
The mods for the sub of a popular game I play are getting shit on for protesting against Reddit by people who think the mods merely want power. No power mod has ever put thousands of hours into creating free helper apps or maintaining a game wiki.
It's obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It's a thankless, difficult job that isn't even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled....
Instead of manually saving + deleting content, you should use scripts to download and delete all posts + comments you've made, or even replace their content with something else. I saw that a mod of one of the Pokemon subs replaced all his comments with the Vaporeon copypasta.
Voat came out in 2014 and was kinda big for a while. I used it for a few weeks, but activity started dying down and I didn't think about it again until I found out it was being shut down in 2020. The Wikipedia article says many of the users migrated from subreddits on the right of the political spectrum, so maybe that's why.
This time it's different, though. The recent drama affects way more than just a couple subreddits.
I think the women and children were below deck for protection against the elements, not to increase the chance of men surviving. On top of that, men are also more likely to know how to swim than women and children.
For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above)....

What are your thoughts on bots reposting links to Reddit posts?
It reminds me how Imgur is often discussing images that were uploaded for Reddit and OP will never know about all the comments.

Made this PRAW script to ensure my Reddit data is cleared before deactivating. I sure hope a bunch of people don't run it during the last few days of free API access...
You'll need to update the praw.Reddit() parameters and set booleans to True based on what you want to have cleared....
Awkward the turtle ( 1000 sub reddit mod) banned and begging to get unbanned. (lemmy.world)
Real question: Why don't the mods just all quit?
It's obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It's a thankless, difficult job that isn't even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled....
