Dude. You killed the Piped bot.
LOL I noticed just now - but it appears by @glassware explanation that it wasn't actually my link, but a patch that would have affected every link posted to which piped reacts
It's at 91 replies to itself. It was at 25 when I posted that 2 hours ago. I wonder how long it will be allowed to continue?
It had already (been) stopped 3 hours ago.
Looks like they commited a change to Piped bot two hours ago which accidentally removed the functionality to actually change the link. Whoops!
Do you have a name / user id of a piped bot developer? Because while we're at it, I think that bot should also avoid responding to itself - which would also prevent such a scenario completely.
good riddance.
