If anyone uses sync, there’s a setting to hide the PipedLinkBot posts
Beat me to it
Thanks for being a step ahead.
Thank you for your work, and the years and years of sync 👊🏼
(シ_ _)シ
Already done, but thanks for the PSA!
Thank you!
Screenshot of what’s happening for the uninitiated. Bot keeps posting YouTube links and then replying to itself because it detects a YouTube link.
You’ve fallen for one of the classic blunders! Never let a bot reply to itself!
ahh, I rember that old time I wanted to make a “your mom bot” for discord, one of the function was saying “No, your mom” when someone said in a phrase “your mom”, little did I know that discord bots read their own messages if you don’t check it
Just thinking of this makes me laugh
Someone needs to make a PR to add a check for the username of the commenter that they’re replying to. Should be a simple conditional check.
Reminds me of back when it was possible for two out-of-office message services to get stuck in an endless loop
I killed an old exchange server with an auto reply to a coworker who had an auto reply to me.
Those were the good old days.
I broke my brother’s exchange beta 4 install by telnetting into SMTP port and sending an email with an accidentally typo’d recipient. The bounce bounced, that bounce bounced and it continued until priv.edb was full and the service crashed. After a morning on the phone with Microsoft support he asked me if I did it. They made a hotfix for the bug.
“Stop replying all!! Can you take me off this email thread please?!”
The people who got pissed off were the best. And the whole company would see it. Those were the days.
at least there are no grammar nazi bots, yet
“Pardon the interruption, but there appears to be a mistake in your 3 words reply. Here is a 5 paragraphs post, explaining the history of language starting from mesozoic era and extracts from 5 dictionaries on the word you just misspelled”
and then they make a separate bot for each possible mistake, so you have to block them over and over.
“your post is written in alphabetical order”
Most useless bot ever
That one was fun, rare enough to not be a bother
“Hello frustrated by the recent changes, I’m Dadbot.”
Exists for no reason but to spam.
I think its great to avoid YT.
Yes I automatically open YT links with invideous.
I blocked it.
Piped doesn’t seem to work anyway.

If I could get either LibRedirect or Privacy Redirect in my Firefox based mobile browser I totally would. I’m just not 100% sure whether or not the feature from Firefox Beta allowing for using collections of desktop extensions- if the extension you want even works on mobile- has come to normal Firefox for android yet.
For Piped you can install LibreTube and set it to open YT and a bunch of Piped links by default.

As far as I can tell that’s another way to link to piped.kavin.rocks aka not any instance but rather the official one, I highly doubt that will go away…
I blocked that bot long ago. I don’t want to see a website being advertised on every video link on every Lemmy instance.
Bro I LOVE that bot wtf are you on about?
I’ll just demonstrate…
Edit - of course the one time I want the bot to show up, it doesn’t work.
It didn’t respond with a thousand replies, must be under maintenance to fix that so it doesn’t respond to itself anymore
Godspeed, PipedLinkBot. We wish you a speedy recovery.
And then you have the auto tldr bot.
Which is actually useful. Especially for articles with a pay/loginwall.
The what ?
the auto tldr bot
I’ve never seen it.
I absolutely hate that bot
Muhaha.
Video made me lol.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I do that kinda shit all the time with my personal scripts, mistakes happen.
This happened quite a few times on Reddit with multiple bots.
It also doesn’t work properly if you share a clip from a YouTube video
The link it posts just takes you to the full video
O look my post has 6 comments… Fucking bot.
I love the Ruby/Sapphire version of that annoying trumpet

Invidious so the bot doesn’t go crazy
