u/Thekingoflorda, I have found error in your comment:

words that ~~where~~ [were] used in this comment ~~where~~ [were] words!

You should know where to use 'where' or 'were', if you were not illiterate

This is an automated bot. I do not intend to shame your mistakes. If you think the errors which I found are incorrect, please contact me through DMs!

What really pisses me off are entire comment threads filled with "happy cake day!". Like that adds anything to the conversation. There's 1/365 chance that any comment is made on their anniversary. It's not that rare when there's hundreds of millions of people posting (or whatever smaller percentage actually post)

[–] Bender_B_Rodriguez@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That and the one word reply…

β€œThis”.

[–] christopherius@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was really tempted to reply to your post with "this"

It was even worse when they added commenting it as a feature to the official app.

Does Lemmy show them? If I look on your profile it literally says "Cake Day: (date)"

But I'm not sure if it would flag your account on that day.

That bothered me less than whenever some thread got successful and a mod decided that their input deserved to be viewed as the top comment, so they pinned it to the thread. 95% of the time those comments had nothing to do with reddit moderation, just a normal comment that wouldn't have even been upvoted if it hadn't been made in sudo mode.

[–] Apoidea@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Allowing mods to pin comments was a mistake. Was always going to be abused.

Basically the only times I've ever been banned from a sub is by asking "why is this comment pinned" lol

[–] Ral@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm potentially in the minority here, but what drove me up the wall were threads on a very interesting original post, whose comments were just endless chains of puns and lazy jokes, rather than any actual discussion.

[–] pfannkuchen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder how many of those comments were actually bots or nowadays generated by AI!

To be fair, if fediverse ever takes off, they'll probably need those automods to prevent things from getting out of control.

The potential loss of automods was also one of the things people were worried about with the API changes.

[–] syndicate@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I am also glad to no longer see those stupid reply memes that everyone felt compelled to use. "This" or "This is the way". It gave me second-hand embarrassment. It seemed like no one could think to reply for themselves anymore.

Semi-related, Wikipedia discussion pages used to be left blank, with a red link, unless there was actually discussion there. Now every article has a boilerplate article quality scale rating template, a notice about when to use or not use the discussion page, etc. pasted onto the talk page as soon as it's created. I miss seeing a rare blue talk page link and going "I wonder what weird stuff people are saying in the talk page for Alex Kidd in Shinobi World."

[–] Cralex@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We need an instance where every community is full of self-perpetuated botspam. Then every other instance can defederate from it.

[–] theory@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

This is the one time i support defederation

[–] DirkMcCallahan@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I didn't necessarily mind the automod comments, but I did hate the fact that there was no way to disable them for subscribers of a sub. It got very obnoxious very quickly.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We'll almost certainly have the same once someone develops an Automoderator-bot.

Although it might be unavoidable. Some of them were handy for letting the users help keep a sub on-topic, by letting them vote spam posts to be removed before the moderators had time to get around to deal with reports, or saw those posts for themselves.

Others, like Locationbot on /r/legaladvice might be to keep an archive of the post, so that users can read and comment on it, even after the original has been removed, but without them having to go and leave a link elsewhere.

Both of those would be pretty handy for Lemmy as well as Reddit, and I would not be surprised if someone ended up making more of the same, sooner or later.

Something that might be nice, is if Lemmy had a way for users to silently summon bots to a thread, so you didn't have a bunch of threads that were just users summoning DownloaderBot, or setting a reminder for themselves.

We’ll almost certainly have the same once someone develops an Automoderator-bot.

But unlike reddit, lemmy is FOSS and as such people could implement a feature to not count comments made by accounts marked as bots. So only comments (supposedly) made by humans count towards the comment count.

Definitely! It was so annoying
