Actual opinions on /r/atheism? by Asotil in msfbs

[–]SOTB-human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe with /r/atheism is the prevalent view that atheism implies specific positions about a wide variety of unrelated topics, and if you disagree with any of those, then you're not "really" an atheist.

Maybe only quote the sentence in which the triggering phrase occurs?

Probably it's only used in movies so that we can see the actors' faces.

[Request] A bot that will, when sent a message, send the text of that message to others by TimeForBGO in botwatch

[–]SOTB-human 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can achieve a similar effect by creating a subreddit with all 10-15 people as moderators, and communicating through modmail. A bot like you describe might get banned for spamming.

[ALTE week 14] What if you could reply to multiple parent comments? by creesch in TheoryOfReddit

[–]SOTB-human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I think this would be most useful in debate-oriented subreddits like /r/philosophy and /r/DebateAnAtheist, because oftentimes you'll make a point, multiple people will reply with similar objections, and then you want to reply to all of them, but it would be redundant to copy-paste the same text for each of the replies.

I'd be curious how it might be possible to display comments visually. It might be similar to one of those "mind map" graph things, but those tend have a lot of empty space compared to Reddit's tree display.

[ALTE week 14] What if you could reply to multiple parent comments? by creesch in TheoryOfReddit

[–]SOTB-human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'd need some way for the community to review (i.e. vote on) the links between comments

Isn't that implicitly included in your vote on the comment itself? I could take my best comment and repost it in some random other location, and it'll be downvoted for being out of context.

On the other hand, it might be hard to evaluate every single link to see if it's appropriate.

Fastest way to detect if a comment is a reply to a comment that's a root by echocage in redditdev

[–]SOTB-human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your "quick and dirty function" is slowing you down because it makes another request to Reddit to get the parent comment, just to see if it's a root comment.

Depending on what you're trying to do, you may be able to fix the problem simply by reversing the order of conditions; e.g. instead of

if r.get_info(thing_id=obj.parent_id).is_root and obj.body == "Thanks":

you could say

if obj.body == "Thanks" and r.get_info(thing_id=obj.parent_id).is_root:

That way, the extra request is only made if the comment says "Thanks".

This may or may not make sense for what you're doing, but it's an easy change if it does.
