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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

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