I thought bots were exempt from paying?

The unpopular ones can be used since they don't reach the API calls free limit.

I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn't an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won't spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

I looked it up now, and it does sound like Reddit made an exception for the reminder bot according to the bot's dev: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/13yo8ay/will_the_reddit_api_change_kill_remindmebot/

Which means it couldn't have been made now

This whole thing is really fucking stupid

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

maybe remindme bot should pass through all API calls to Apollo and solve this whole moronic escape room detonation

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

You already escaped by being here. Why try to find a workaround to go back?

[-] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Solid work, and solid username. I'm feeling better about the fediverse every day.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
