That was my bot. Lemmy removed a feature the bot was using, so it stopped working.
Yeah, this is the reason. TankieReplyBot used Lemmy's WebSocket API because it was far more efficient for a bot to receive events as they happen rather than constantly checking for new comments and posts. With that gone, the bot will have to be rewritten to use polling instead, and the last time I did that, it caused my IP to be rate limited within an hour and that was with a relatively long polling interval.
Have you ever seen UPS' website? lol

I'm definitely not your overlord. Nope, not at all, not sure why you'd ever think that. Definitely no sarcasm in this comment.
Welcome again, everyone! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have a Matrix homeserver, where I am your ~~overlord~~ friendly server admin :), at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory, try marxists.org, Anna's Archive, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
Yeah, it's not updated yet
Mostly as a joke. No one seriously uses it as a descriptor. We call ourselves Marxists-Leninists.
That term wasn't made up by us lol, we stole it from libs when they started calling us that.
We support Stalin and Mao because they advanced the Marxist cause. We support them because they worked towards establishing communism. Most of what the west spreads about them is blatant propaganda. The CIA itself admitted in an internal brief that Stalin was never a dictator. I also personally know people who have lived under Stalin and speak very highly of him. If you read their works, it would be obvious that they're not monsters and they never were.
I predicted it the second my friend introduced me to r/GenZedong. I even said "They should start a Lemmy instance because I guarantee this sub is going to get banned." Then I saw someone mention lemmygrad and joined. Three months later, r/GenZedong was quarantined.
The past year has been very interesting for me, to say the least. I became an ML, I finally got out of the hell known as the US educational system, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and I finally stopped denying that I'm trans. Lots of major events in very quick succession. By giving me a greater understanding of myself and the world, all of you were a big part of those events. Thanks, comrades. o7
