View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?

View parent comment

Hi again, thanks a lot for taking the time to think about this with me.

Blacklisting the sub is indeed the wrong thing to do and you're probably right about other subs having similar policies when it comes to Reddit linking stuff. So I've written a small function to change `www.` to `np.` in a list of subs, which for now only contains r/conspiracy. The feature just went live in ffdd9db[1].

I haven't gotten the chance to test it properly, but I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't work :p I'll edit my comment once AmputatorBot has done something there.

Edit: hooray it works! https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/f4zoyp/in_merica_you_only_have_value_if_you_produce/fhw9lpc

You've made AmputatorBot a bit of a better bot, thanks :)

Wow! I really appreciate you even considering the request, let alone adding this feature so quickly. It will keep conspiracy threads a little tidier and easier to read, too.

Thanks for making this great bot - and F all the companies that don’t respect our data privacy.

What is np and how does it differ from www?
