The Cat Train

Video quality is pretty awful, haven’t analyzed it to much but even though hunt mode is strong the initial complete lack of movement from the cats makes me lean towards AI

Cat stole and ate a pack of Brat buns

I was out and the cat yanked down a new pack of Brat buns and tore into them. Was too fat to even move by the time I got back home. I guess I'm in for shitmageddon soon

r/Mindfulness Announcement - Improvements to advertising detection, other mod changes.

Hi everyone, u/Alan-Foster here with some updates on improvements to subreddit moderation.

  • The big change is that we have disabled Link Posts, which are usually just people trying to advertise to blogs or other websites. Text and Image posts are still allowed.
  • Advertising detection for both posts and comments is improved - we now automatically remove posts with medium.com, play.google.com and esty.com links.
  • Hestia, the mental health tool we use to remove 90% of the advertising and AI-generated content, has been updated:
    • Hestia will comment less often - only on posts w/ no comments after 30m.
    • Hestia has a disclaimer at the bottom saying it's a bot for clarity
      • So far it seems like Hestia is doing a good job with its comments, but if we see that many users become more hostile towards it now that it's very clearly labeled as a bot, we might disable the comments.
      • Even if we disable the comments, we keep the advertising / AI filter, so that's nice.

---

If you have any improvements you'd like to see to the subreddit (or throw unripe tomatoes), this is the post to share them in the comments!

Cheers! -u/Alan-Foster

Subreddits that uninstall the Devvit user profile (with mod permissions) but not doing a full app uninstall?

I've been going through some analytics of r/SubGoal and found that there are several subreddits that have removed the u/subscriber-goal user account with moderator permissions, but have not actually uninstalled the app.

I'm adding a "Preflight Permissions Test" to make sure my app can actually execute tasks before blindly failing, but is there any way to fix this without doing a full uninstall of the app?

I don't even know if it's possible to send a modmail if the app's user account isn't in the subreddit. Does anybody have any experience with this problem?

Best case scenario is restoring the user account and then sending a modmail explaining how to properly uninstall IMO.

How would this impact things like the new Notification system?

Edit - I realized one of the other impacts of this problem - many of the subreddit installs (literally about 200+) are stuck on much older versions despite a blanket update pushing everything to web views 3 months ago, and I couldn't figure out why some failed to update. The reason is because these several hundred subreddits removed mod permissions - my app can't update itself.
