Good morning sober peeps!!

We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together!

Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.

Maybe you’re new to c/stop drinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.

It doesn’t matter if you’re still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!

You could make the script check the latest posts for yesterday's date and decide whether to take action but that makes it more difficult of course, and I'm not going to finish it if you're OK without it.

I asked the other mod. When Lemmy first started, the original mod did have a script that worked for a while. But the problem with the script is that you don't get the notifications of responses. Maybe I'm just old-school.

You do get notifications if you configure the script to use your account. However, it is a security risk unless it's running on your computer and you store the password responsibly.

You would, if you use the script so that it posts using your account.

That's what I do, exactly so that any comments appear in my inbox, since I do often want to respond.

That said, if you don't have any programming experience, there is: https://schedule.lemmings.world
