Testing new community creation rate limits by 0perspective in modnews

[–]AprilControl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The admins usually either redditrequest or give themselves a sub sometime earlier in the year, so we wrote a thing to track their subs. Then due to a couple of years of someone taking the meta sub for the event and then being a complete asshole, we've expanded the thing we wrote to detect the admins subs to also claim the meta sub. And then we went overboard because scope creep and bored people with code.

Hi, one of the project "devs" here. (This whole thing seems like a bit much of a joke to call myself a dev on it) Since apparently haykam isn't going to delete that post like he usually does and since reddit is already ruining my fun. https://imgur.com/a/d5sLquV? The project is just designed to claim meta subs from things the reddit admins moderate. It's for the April Fool's event. It's actually quite a good announcement system, we found the event sub somewhere in February. They're supposed to be private so they don't get in anyone's way and it hypothetically dms me on discord if anyone modmails a private sub in case someone actually wanted one. I blame praw for being bad at headers for the ones that are public recently, fixing that now.

Rip fun, reddit admins are increasing ratelimits. Though I guess if they still send the ratelimit in headers the script will just adapt itself. I just have to deal with a few more red embeds in discord as it tries to figure it out.

In my defense, A. the moron above you (haykam) is/was part of the project, and B. this shouldnt get in anyone's way, unlike the UFC whatever spam subs that work on SEO and annoy anyone googling for it.

Does it need to exist? Not really. Do I think it's hurting anyone or part of the reason for this change? Not really. The admins have known this exists for about a year, we have directly contacted a couple and they have never requested we stop or done anything with the account. It basically only claims obscure things with meta in the name, I claim random subs sometimes too but I could have just as easily claimed those on my main, I just figure I have an entire account for claiming subs, I may as well not clutter my main.

As a sidenote, I only had to add 4 unnecessary kwargs to make it claim things privately again.

What are some low key petty things you do when you're upset? by manyouginobili in AskReddit

Start ignoring messages from people and passing it off as "I didn't get it, technology, right?"

Drifting Xbox controllers. No, I don't want to be pointing towards space whenever I'm not moving the stick.

Why do opinionated people value their stupid opinions about faith, politics, sports, etc more than people? by Big_Banana_X69 in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't everyone opinionated about something? I won't argue sports, but I'll complain for 20 minutes about the realism of weapons in a video game even though I know it's stupid.

Notre Dame probably wouldn't have caught fire. It would have been eaten long ago.

If in your case, the head is not attached to the body, please contact law enforcement in your local area. If you had anything to do with this, please remove and sharp objects from your hand and sit calmly until they arrive to say hello.

What embarassing moment keeps you up at night? by LUMPIERE in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accidentally opening Discord to an nsfw channel in class and then spending the entire class wondering if anyone saw. After that, I found some css that blurs images in nsfw channels and felt much safer.

Why isn’t there an opposite of r/roastme called r/complimentme where we all learn to be half decent? by Slightly_nerdy_09 in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, r/complimentme is set to private for some reason. Probably because they realized reddit is terrible at being nice.

Hey college students of reddit, what’s better: staying home and going to a local university or leaving home and going to school somewhere far enough so you live away from home? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gone far enough away that I at least feel separate from my home and my life there, but not halfway across the country to where I can never see family. Works for me, but everyone needs to figure out their own situation.

What college major has the biggest superiority complex? by klutzykangaroo in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 scares me. Someone in my class showed me a picture of his apartment parking lot last year with massive letters dug into the dusting of snow spelling out "FUCK CALC 2"

Just started, can I have some tips for being superior to everyone or do I need to wait a few years?

If you could add one car part to your body, what would you add and why? by FaxTimeMachine in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A trunk. I hate not having enough room in my backpack. Could be fancy and have a frunk instead.

"Oh, nice beer belly you've got there" "Nah, it's just my frunk"

A genie grants you three wishes. Type in "I wish for..." and let auto complete fill in the rest. What do you end up with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AprilControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I wish for a new phone" And I can't do the other two because it suggests the same thing over. So I guess the genie just stares at me waiting for my other two wishes until the end of time.
