      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”.

    Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.

    We didn’t need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn’t end up with them either.

      Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.

      Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!

      I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.

        I mean, I like knowing when I’m saying something incorrectly, and learning the correct way to say it. I value communication through text a lot because I have some issues with communicating verbally, so I like to know how to properly write what I want to say. So I didn’t mind the grammar/spelling bots as long as they were polite about it, they were just providing accessibility to knowledge, at least in my eyes. It was the rude or condescending ones I didn’t like.

        I didn’t mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell “neither” if I just remember the e comes before the i… that’s the problem.

        It’s like saying “if you want to be rich just get more money” or “NASCAR is easy cuz it’s all left turns”

        I always thought it’s funny to see such a spelling bot on linguistics themed subs where everyone was like “fck you descriptivist” and they were downvoted into oblivion

        I wish there were more. I just found out at work that “deprecated” and “depreciated” are different words, it was so embarrassing.

    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. :(

      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.

    I won’t be around to be told ‘i told you so’. They will be speaking into the wind.

      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.

      I think I remember seeing Reddit’s comment somewhere that remindme bot will keep working.
