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!

Sweet jeebers, I hope this is comedy. I laughed, but 99+% of the bots roaming Reddit are nothing but a drag, and I hope there’s a way to block all bots here.

I believe bot accounts actually have a ‘bot’ tag applied to them, so in theory, yes! Just has to be added.

I would say that some bots were useful. Like the one that would convert the units from “freedom” oned to ones that actually make sense (or the other way around).

Also, I like the bot that summarized the article.

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)

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

Yeah, you’d press a button next to a commenters name. That’s why you’d see so many with the exact same phrasing.

Awful.

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.

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

They don’t have to behave the same way fortunately, like auto replying to every thread posted.

It can be implemented directly, though. Like as a site feature showing a message above the comment form, not as a bot making posts.

Ask yourself, did automod actually help that?

Honestly I think that’s just a failing of community ethos. It’d be nice to bring back the expectation that people make the bare minimum attempt to check the rules of a community they’re trying to participate in, and let moderators just assume that everyone has read the sidebar rules. If you haven’t, and you break a rule by accident… well, tough luck, you’ll get the same treatment as everyone else. Next time, read before posting.

Brave for your to assume that people read the automod comments. I quickly learned to igbore it, it was a second nature for me to scroll past it.

Than again, I never had any serious troubles with my posts or comments being moderated. Perhaps I was just not being a jerk which seems to get you very far (not already if course as some Reddits were nazis about their silly rules).

Maybe we can have automod comments not count, or something like that.

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.
