Why YSK: I’ve seen several commenters asking if there were specific bots such as RemindMe
However, there are so many bots already on mastodon that will federate with us! Check out botsin.space, a masto-instance specifically made for hosting bots
Just tag @remindme@mstdn.social and say the time after (I recommend you not do it on this post unless you have an actual reason though as it could spam their servers)
Now all we need is a way to use the bots without clogging the comment section with bot commands.
Yeah I didn’t want that 😭 I was hoping people would read to the end
Common sense and decency would suggest doing them as child comments so that the whole thread of them can be easily collapsed.
Exactly! Now I’m sad/disappointed the threads will be drowned with commands.
Yes, it’s neat to have these tools but it doesn’t actually provide anything to the discussion at hand.
At least, you can add dm before the time so that the bot will respond to you privately.
