Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.

We didn't need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn't end up with them either.

    Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.

    Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!

    I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.

    I mean, I like knowing when I'm saying something incorrectly, and learning the correct way to say it. I value communication through text a lot because I have some issues with communicating verbally, so I like to know how to properly write what I want to say. So I didn't mind the grammar/spelling bots as long as they were polite about it, they were just providing accessibility to knowledge, at least in my eyes. It was the rude or condescending ones I didn't like.

    I didn't mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell "neither" if I just remember the e comes before the i... that's the problem.

    It's like saying "if you want to be rich just get more money" or "NASCAR is easy cuz it's all left turns"
