Especially when ChatGPT bots are on the rise… Reddit couldn’t have picked a worse time to alienate the BotDefense team.

The mods of a gaming sub I frequent marked it as NSFW to prevent Reddit from earning ad revenue. There’s some discontent from a vocal minority of users about the change.

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.

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.

Good point. A script that only archives posts might be a better idea. It could even simultaneously remake those posts here.

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.

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.
