Amazing indeed! Thanks a lot for the ping. I switched instances in between. Gonna ping myself @haui_[email protected]
Gross. Leave it there. Rebuild here from grassroots.
I can understand your view - Reddit has piles of garbage that is best forgotten, and we should be carving our own space here.
However, there's still good content there, that still makes people to visit that shithole. Hand-picking it and copying it to Lemmy is, IMO, a good way to make people rely less on Reddit. And OP's tool simply make this a bit more convenient.
Unneeded atrocity.
What don't you like about it?
The part about Reddit comments migrating here. That is bloat and garbage. I do not want hundreds of choochoo train jokes and cringe comment trains here.
That's fair, but I think the post that inspired this made a good point that there are many Reddit comment chains with actually useful information that can't be found elsewhere. This is a manual tool, not a bot, and I think it's fair to trust that Lemmy users would use it to specifically share the actually good stuff. For people who really want to repost cringe, there's already the popular option of Twitter screenshots.
Yeah that's good that you understand what idiots can do with this tool. Not being automated is helpful, and those guest blog comments could be curated that way.
I don't mean to be rude since this seems like a good script and it's really cool that you were able to get ChatGPT to help. I just find the idea of people writing code they don't understand using an LLM, publishing it, and then expecting someone else to check that it's safe a little bit troubling. Credit to you, you've been transparent about that being the case but it got me thinking about other developers who might not be so upfront.
That isn't actually what I meant by that. I am a programmer, I fully understand the code and know what it does, and can personally attest that it is safe.
What I meant is that people might not trust me to not be trying to trick them into running malware, so I welcome any scrutiny.
Oh I see, that makes sense. Sorry that I interpreted it differently based on the post!
Thanks for sharing!
