So I'd say the posting frequency here on Lemmy is pretty good then!
Hahahah! *«strAdditional_CommentDFF4»*
It's odd how often I <java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException> myself as well.
Sure, I have an image like that: ![](data://hEmQAObamAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
As a large language model, I don't have an opinion on this subject.
Quality over quantity.
this
Edit: Apparently some people missed the irony.
The italics are a nice hint. Good Poe's Law submission.
Except when the quantity is so low it is not even with checking.
Are you checking for hot, 6 hours and 12 hours? I think it defaults to active which does make it seem, ironically, less active.
I was a bot hunter on reddit and was asked to mod /r/kittengifs because of my ability to find them. There were like 5 legitimate posts in 6 months
So, tangentially related to this, you know r/kitty? The subreddit where every post was a picture of a cat, and the only word permitted in the title and any comments was "Kitty"?
I'm convinced that was being used for covert communications. Run those pictures through Outguess or something.
Ah yes, the famous Russian ~~Number~~ Kitty Stations
There was r/catsstandingup(?) as well that just responded "cat." Never considered the conspiratorial angle there...
If I cared about reddit anymore, I'd dig into that
I mean I can think of worse ways to send messages to my sleeper cells across the surface web. I used to watch The Modern Rogue.
Do you mind share tips to know how to spot them?
This right here is a bot comment. Everyone take notes.
I wonder if they didn't block the bot that approves content...
Haha, moderator approval on Reddit.
Boggles the mind how they work for free for a business.
Someone should start a reddit replacement and we should all move there last year
That would be something, wouldn't it?
We can dream.
!remindme -1 year
Poor little vasals on poor little anthills.
As a former mod, in my experience it was more having a place to engage a community, and helping that community grow and improve. Reddit being a million dollar company when I started and a billion dollar company when I left didn't really factor in. If you have a site split up into a million little communities, you need moderators that can have intimate knowledge of each community they oversee, and that's unreasonable for a company of any size to do in house. Otherwise you have Facebook style moderation where it's just plain dreadful no matter where you are.
Additionally, it really matters what sized sub you modded.
I modded mostly smaller subs, one big one for a while, and a default for 2 weeks. I put a lot of effort into the smaller subs, especially when it was just a few people whose usernames I recognized posting. I had little jokes hidden around, some cool CSS stuff, and some automated tasks. It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours a week. I didn't mind it.
The big sub I was on mostly through mutuals. I was known to be pretty decent with automod scripting, so I got brought in to deal with never ending spam. I would update the automod and check queue every couple days, no biggie. Then the rest of the mods all drifted offline, leaving me alone to either let the sun die or to try and maintain the damned thing.
I maintained it near single handedly for like 2 years. It was mostly adding more and more to automod, but a lot was manual approvals and deletions. It sucked and sapped all the fun out of an activity I used to enjoy. Wasn't the worst, but I wouldn't have joined in the first place had I known why would happen.
Default subs are a different beast entirely. They don't even use automod half the time. All of them have custom bots that link either a slack or discord, and everything is run externally through there. I decided to dip when I asked how tf all their tools worked and got refered to almost a damn knowledge base. That truly seemed awful and like it needed to be done by dedicated and paid employees.
Anyways, this comment spiraled, so sorry about that.
So I know my wife still uses Reddit, if the dead internet theory is to be believed either she's a bot or I'm a bot...
Can someone help me click this box?
Why are you still using reddit
Many niche subreddits, my country specific subreddit. I browse reddit along with lemmy but post only on lemmy.
This is the way
That’s kinda astonishing. I mean, I knew there were a lot of bots, but that many? That’s crazy. How did they filter for bots?
"A few year away"
Lol, have you tried searching for a "how to" article in the past five years?
... I am somehow completely missing two days worth of memories, completely blank.
I hope it's not related.
I misread that as Lemmy community for the same. Hopefully we are still got a lot of time before it hits us.
When did this happen?
Amazing. I almost want to tell them to come over here but then I'd have to use reddit.
I had blocked that subreddit after few posts from there popped up in /r/all.
It was a hugbox of toxic positivity.
