wordleSMS VS user_pinger

OK, so to be fair, this Wordle! app is older than Josh Wardle's game. It used to be a completely different game like Wordscapes, and then when Josh Wardle's Wordle took off, hundreds of thousands of people downloaded Wordle! by mistake. Wordle!'s developer cashed in on this and sold his game to AppLovin, which turned the older Wordle! into a Wordle knock-off. The entire mobile app economy is flooded with knock-offs to the point where it's hard to find originals. Heck, Wordle itself is a Lingo knock-off. However, Josh Wardle created Wordle and named it after himself, then sold it to the New York Times. NYT Wordle is the one and only official Wordle, and for now, it doesn't have any ads or any mobile apps.

Original game: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

yup. it's /u/powerlanguage who organized most of /r/thebutton. The original wordle URL was also https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

GOOGLE, you've known me for years, when I type in P and O and then Enter you know damn well i'm not trying to go to https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

I think I found the source of the issue! I looked at this post and checked on how I opened wordle every day on my phone. I realized, that I always type wordle in the search bar and click on the first suggestion Safari gives me. I think the issue is, that Safari does not suggest the plain wordle URL (https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html) but the one, that was generated when NY Times transferred the game from the original domain (https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/) to theirs. It looks something like this and was generated to be able to transfer the stats from the old page to the new NY Times page:

omg where have you been

Here's the source code.

Here is the commit specifically. This disables a feature I implemented where deleted or suspended accounts would get pruned. Unfortunately, in some weird cases where Reddit was having trouble, this resulted in active accounts getting deleted. I disabled this feature a while back but never got around to committing it until now - sorry about that

The script or whatever that does it is open source. Not sure if any other subs use it. https://github.com/neoliberal/user_pinger

Yeah, they can find the code here: https://github.com/neoliberal/user_pinger

No, but it's on the to-do list.

I just wanted to make sure you saw this commit I recently made. It disables a feature I had previously added to prune deleted/suspended accounts. Unfortunately, in some cases, this feature seems to misbehave and prune active accounts. I am not sure why this happens or how to fix it, so I commented it out in this commit. I think you'll want to do the same

I wanted to do it, I was ready to do it. Jenbanim said no because he wanted to a rewrite or something and I lost interest. You can do it yourself but you still need Jenbanim's approval.

The ping digest idea is closely related to another idea I had for tracking group activity, so I've added it as a comment here
