Speaking of bots that should have some checks built in, ha.
Bots are clients that use the HTTP API
Voyager was set up to test the app, but that doesn’t mean other clients can’t use it.
Enterprise is full of random test communities that have many been populated by bots. I don’t understand how something like https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/c/mels_test (to pick a random one) isn’t useful for what you’re trying to do.
I think https://enterprise.lemmy.ml is specifically for testing. It’s not typically federated with other instances, so it won’t be a problem if your bot goes crazy again.
this page also mentions https://voyager.lemmy.ml/ and https://ds9.lemmy.ml/
An interesting thing about Lemmy is that if you delete your comment, it also nukes every comment underneath it. So if you say something, and then people are giving you a hard time about it, and then you go out for a walk and are still annoyed about it, you can self-destruct and take them with you (this isn’t based on a true story of course, but if it was, I’d say it’s terrible in that it discourages engagement and deletes someone else’s actually-correct info, but it’s a good way to get over it all)
I have Feelings about certain instances (too unreliable, too much interference, too little / too much moderation on certain specialised instances) so that helps me choose. It’s not something you necessarily get right first try.
I assume they were talking about [email protected]
I thought for a second that the OP of the other post had changed the title (missed opportunity, there).
Serious answer: TIE fighter pilots climbing into their ships against the backdrop of The Eye, with the klaxons fitting perfectly with the music.
The ones added in the “special” editions
You’re showing up as a bot, btw. Anyone with a blanket ban on bots won’t see your comments, so it’s maybe an idea to change it in your settings.
Well, personally I use IRC to steal media, but I realise that’s not why you’re asking.
I suppose the reason people might use it for chat is that it’s been around a long time, so there’s clients (with endless plugins) that do exactly what people want, and it’s all simple, text-based often unencrypted stuff, so it’s easy to write bots for (that might notify you of something, for example)
I think I use ‘pretty good’ to pretend I have an opinion about something, rather than it being a moral judgement:
How was the film? Pretty good vs.
How was the film? Good.
Hey, that’s not true. They also had posts complaining about trans people existing and Star Trek fans being nerds. Still, it’s admirable - in a way - the effect they had: I ask the lemmy.world admins for updates on fixing their technical issues, and get no reply. This guy makes one post, and they all leap into action.
I’d mind less if their own instance wasn’t so broken.
Not that one, their copy of the massive one at dbzer0
lemmy.world deleted their copy of it (due to site rules, and prompted by a concerned Internet citizen)
It’s probably the biggest Community in all of Lemmy, so the ramifications will be interesting.
Literally:
On one of the Culture worlds, as depicted by Iain M Banks.
I’d just be one of the hedonist citizens though. If Special Circumstances suddenly wanted my involvement, I’d be ‘No, thanks!’
I just looked, and I think it’d be more accurate to call it a Neo-Bolshevik cesspit.
(I don’t know what those words mean)
Yeah - this community, like some others, only supports ‘undetermined’ (aka unspecified) as a discussion language. You can see by running:
curl https://lemmy.kde.social/api/v3/community?name=kde | jq .discussion_languages
This gives an array with just ‘0’ as a value. Most other communities would give an array like [0,37] (for Unspecified and English), or [0,47] (for Unspecified and French), etc.
It can be fixed by a moderator - going into the community’s settings and using the CTRL key with the mouse to click both Unspecified and English.
