  • If you wait 10 minutes for a fare… give a 20-minute ride to some suburban house… and then drive 20 minutes back to the city…

    your pay would be $10.83 (with this new deal).

    …that’s very different from $32.50 per hour.

    • Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?

    • Does a cashier only get paid for “specific minutes” when there are customers in her line?

    The original goal of this lawsuit was to classify drivers as employees under state law…

    And that goal was ignored completely.

    “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.


  • 1 - Yes - some bots are helpful, some (most) are annoying:

    • a Haiku bot falls into your “triggered by accident” category (any post that is 17 syllables).

    • a Haiku bot also does not add any new contextual information (it just duplicates a comment).

    That’s why I’m saying the haiku bot is junk.

    2 - In this very post, when Otome said “I never liked the Haiku Bot”… OP responded “I’ve never liked them much either”…

    so I’m asking OP: “why create a bot to spam lemmy with low-value duplicate content, if you don’t even like that bot yourself?”
