I can't wait until we get bots that repeat catchphrases or tell you when your post contains all the letters of the alphabet! That was the best part of reddit!

On principle, I am downvoting any typical bot-response comments. Don't do that here, not even "ironically".

I have a thing on my phone that lets me do a ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and for some reason lt loses an arm on Lemmy. Made me so sad to realize no bot is gonna answer that.

In programming backslash can sometimes be used to enter special characters. Maybe Lemmy also follows this syntax? If so, typing two consecutive backslashes might help.

Test with one backslash:
Test with two backslashes: \

Isn’t that just markdown? Eg wrapping with a star/asterisk italicizes. If you want to escape that you backslash.

test in italics, made by wrapping with asterisks

* = a backslash escaped asterisk

Clown Fact #1:

"Sad Clown Paradox" happens when a person who is severely depressed resorts to using humor as a way to deflect their feelings of profound sadness and disappointment in the world. Many Clowns throughout history have used this coping mechanism to survive an overwhelming sense of existential dread.

Your next fun Clown Fact will be sent in 24 hours!

Hmm yea. That is my main coping mechanism actually. Defective humor or smth.

I can't wait until we get bots that verge on gaining sentience, like good-ole u/bobby-b-bot

Half the fun of lotrmemes was the memes, the other half was the bots talking to each other. Some were predictable, but some were so well timed it was uncanny.

I miss stabbot, it was the best bot on Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've now seen both sides, I just saw people on another thread complaining about how much they hated those bots and how glad they are that the bots are gone LOL

I personally am indifferent on them other than the remindme bot, that one was useful.
