Reddit auto reply and auto downvote.
A script which recurrsively walks over a specific post and automatically replies to (and downvotes) comments by a particular author.
Have you ever attempted to have a regular decent conversation on
reddit like any normal human being would, only to be confronted by
a troll, a moron, or a jerk? Maybe this person is just genuinely
evil. Maybe this person just won't let you have the last word?
It's probably because their mother didn't teach them good manners.
This script could enable you to repetitively shut this person down without even having to spare them even a single thought.
This is a mostly untested sript. I only wrote it to end a certain conversation. It did a fine job at that, and it kept me from having to waste any more time replying to that thread. I fed the script a reply that made it quite clear that the person that I was replying to was deficient in their mental capacities and that I had written this bot to automatically reply to anything they wrote in my thread. It worked perfectly. After a few rounds of interacting with my reply bot, that person finally realized that they would never have the last word. They moved on and dug a little deeper into their troll hole. Good riddance.
First install the packages using pip or whatever. You can use a virtualenv if you want of course.
Run the program with the following command python3 reddit_auto_reply.py
Currently you have to edit the script manually, filling in the necessary details by editing certain variables manually. You should be able to tell which variables need to be edited by going into the program and reading the code. If you want to know more about what variables you need to edit or how to do so, create an issue and let me know. I'm willing to put a small amount of work into this to make it better and more usable.
