Yeah - the name was changed from Limbo to Liftoff, but they kept the same invite code.
It is the correct link though - that URL is identical to the invite URL in the newest Liftoff welcome post.

Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:
- local: https://lemmy.ml/c/books
- remote: https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]
Both "Subscribe" and "Block Community" are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the "Create a Post" button:
Create a post
Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues
I agree, there is a time for purposeful sarcasm.
To me, it requires two conditions:
-
A person has already expressed their real perspective to a specific ‘opponent’, and
-
That specific opponent cannot see the hole in their own logic.
This Norm MacDonald radio clip is a good example.
He explains his true perspective, and only switches to sarcasm for one sentence (at 5:25), to show the opponent how she is being goofy [and it works].
His foundation of sincerity gives context to the sarcasm.
Conversely - nowadays - a common ‘communication style’ is to just spray aimless sarcasm at distant or imaginary foes,
which (to me) reflects a deeper cultural issue...
a hiding behind mockery, a suppression of real constructive bravery,
just dunking on one-dimensional charicatures of strangers (who might not actually exist).
[So I agree with you - there are times for purposeful sarcasm.]
This is a very short story about sarcasm:
Ted opposes racist rants.
Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).
2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.
-
50% of them guessed he was joking.
-
98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted's little gag.
So the question is:
Despite the sarcasm... isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?
Is Ted subverting his own integrity?
Why not say how we actually feel?
Successful Login automatically initiates a GetSite operation, which contains person_id:
op.data.my_user.local_user_view.local_user.person_id
and username:
op.data.my_user.local_user_view.person.name
Maybe that will do it.
“OP made it opt-in”
1 - It’s not opt-in "By User" though. It’s opt-in "By Community"...
So if one person turns it on, 1000’s of other people see it.
OP keeps saying “you can just toggle it off”... but I really can’t... when anyone can toggle it back on.
2 - Future options for toggling are not much better (bottom of the repo, To-Do section):
-
"if a moderator adds the haiku-bot, non-mod users cannot remove it"
-
“only allow moderators to subscribe/unsubscribe”
...so the toggle option wouldn’t apply to 99% of people anyway.
“a few users were waiting for this (-OP)”
Who was waiting for it? The top level replies in this thread are:
- you, who wouldn’t use it
- me, who doesn’t want it
- Otome, who doesn’t like it
I think your bot rules are pretty solid though.
Overall, I just feel like... Lemmy is a fresh space...
a chance to make a new culture...
maybe it's best to leave that old bloated carcass behind.
1 - Yes - some bots are helpful, some (most) are annoying:
-
a Haiku bot falls into your "triggered by accident" category (any post that is 17 syllables).
-
a Haiku bot also does not add any new contextual information (it just duplicates a comment).
That's why I'm saying the haiku bot is junk.
2 - In this very post, when Otome said "I never liked the Haiku Bot"... OP responded "I’ve never liked them much either"...
so I'm asking OP: "why create a bot to spam lemmy with low-value duplicate content, if you don't even like that bot yourself?"
I don't understand why people are so eager to turn lemmy into the trash heap that reddit became...
it's a garbage dump of lame "jokes".
I'm asking you - what value do YOU think this Haiku bot adds?
You did not answer the question... I asked you:
How is a haiku bot not invasive spam?
It's basically the same as the "all numbers in your post add up to 69" bot.
Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
