where is an OK place to experiment with bots? in c/[email protected]
[–] maengd 3 points 1 year ago

Ya I planned for it to be in a separate community from the native fediverse. Idea was to allow people to sub to the reddit repost if they wanted.

It is lucky that I did that because otherwise this oopsie spambot thing might have got the native community in trouble, people unsub, reported, banned etc.

voyager and ds9 are front ends for lemmy

Lemmy has an HTTP API for clients and frontends.

For others, see https://github.com/dbeley/awesome-lemmy

I don't think they help anything here. But thanks :)

edit: I can't tell what enterprise.lemmy.ml is for? anyone else?

where is an OK place to experiment with bots? (self.asklemmy)
 

I used code from a github repo to make a lemmy repost bot from a reddit sub.

I tested it out, it seemed OK. So I let it run over night.

When I got back I found out it had been posting the same thing over and over again every few minutes. The account was banned for spam. But in the meantime it was very annoying to people. Also, there are a bunch of posts that can't be removed because it's impossible to remove federated stuff.

Is there a responsible way to test this stuff?

I don't want to make spam, be annoying, etc. I feel bad about the spam bot.

Kratom products continue to draw criticism from health experts (archive.today)
 

I am so sorry for this family and the loss of their child.

Grieving people are not policy experts though. I don't know the details of the death report for this case but there are all kinds of issues with them in the US.

The lawyers actually say they agree with many kratom users on some issues: that there should be regulation, safety warnings and limit to extravagant claims of benefit. However they then go on to conflate plant product with extracts.

This video contains multiple unsourced "quotes" (like literally displayed on screen text with quotes around them) making strong factual claims. Then a strawman attributed to "critics" is used to seem balanced.

no problem :) I hope we can get a network going here of different communities.

It seems like the federation is not very good across instances. If I understand properly, it would improve if people searched/subscribed on other servers to whatever is available. So to anyone who sees this, please try to open all the links on your server for improved circulation of posts in the future.

my main account is @[email protected]. I am going to try to build the community over on kbin. Don't be a stranger.

Here are some other places where kratom is discussed. They are not specifically endorsed by this community. Just for informational purposes.

communities in the fediverse

Due to inconsistencies in how links to communities are handled, I have included each link in different formats. If one doesn't work try the next one on the same line. The best way to see all content in a community is to view it on the original instance (last link).
