“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.
Could you imagine… if someone spent a year on the JWST… then returned to earth…
how mellow that person would be.
