Oh man, this bums me out.
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”.
You were a good bot, RemindMe. I want you to remember that.
!RemindMe to think of you. Good bot.
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.
It’s about time that people understood that “Everything on the internet lasts forever” is a falsehood formed from a Web 2.0 mindset. Now those big Web 2.0 sites everyone thought would dominate the internet forever are dying, and the only thing saving what was on those websites (the internet archive) is being constantly sued by greedy publishers.
Like shadows burned on the sides of buildings in Hiroshima
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.
Oh my god… WHERE’S EPOXY HOTDOG GUY?!
uhhh… context pls?
Has anyone checked on epoxy hot dog guy?!
In retrospect those were ridiculously optimistic
Does the bot used the API to send the message? In that case not even a couple of months alerts are going to work.
I think I remember seeing Reddit’s comment somewhere that remindme bot will keep working.
This is the best showerthought I’ve seen in ages.
I think I’m going to like it here!
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.

It works! Let’s see if it’ll still be working 5 years from now.
