This is so neat, I love it! Thank you for sharing!

Oh, that definitely makes sense. I switched away as concerns around third-party trackers came up, in 2021. If I’d only been able to export a CSV with a few rows, I’d have been upset about it.

Right, but my assumption - and maybe it’s totally wrong - is that people probably follow multiple related communities, whether they’re small or not, to get multiple sources of similar info. If that’s the case, your bot effectively just spams their feeds. It sounds like your fix in your #1 may change that, which is nice.

Either way, I could see an argument for a ban being too strong a reaction. Especially because it’s easy enough to block a bot as a user - I’ve blocked a few already.

I don’t have an answer, but I do have a question: what is the purpose of posting across multiple communities? I’ve been scrolling through my “all” feed and have seen several posts by your bot, mostly with the same title and link. It’s annoying, but I would’ve personally just blocked your bot in the next half hour or so, I wouldn’t have reported or expected to see it banned.

I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden, years ago now, and the whole process took roughly 5 minutes. I’m not sure if something has changed since then, or if it’s more complicated to switch to something other than Bitwarden, but my experience is that it at least can be simple.

I don’t have a fun and entertaining way, but I wanted to put in two cents anyway. My husband DMs frequently, and regularly has players miss sessions. Life gets in the way, whatever, no biggie. He always explains players being gone as a story that is told long after it happened - different people remember things slightly differently, sometimes they remember certain important figures being there and sometimes they don’t. They might even argue about it, ten years down the line. To him, every session is just another chapter in a story, told by imperfect people with imperfect memories.

I couldn’t upvote or comment until I added a lemmy.world account. Now it seems like I can upvote and comment from my Beehaw account? Definitely strange, but the app is clearly in development, so hopefully that’s an issue that gets ironed out quickly.
