    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 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

    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.

    I used to get a notification every year for some dude who had posted on reddit that he was alone on his birthday one year. He stopped replying several years ago, but I still messaged him each year at the prompt of remindme. So that’s also a use case.

    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. :(
