RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Why the fuck does neither Discord nor any bot (except Apollo*) offer scheduled monthly messages for free? Discord's built-in Events isn't recurring, and we've been begging for that for years. (self.goodoffmychest)

Apollo is limited to five events, which I've exhausted for FFXIV community events. Now I just want a reminder to bump my Disboard and FFXIV Community Finder, since I always forget. I've tried a bunch of bots to no avail, and I keep coming back every once in a while to try to find a solution again.

I don't need a million billion paid subscriptions in my life, especially for Discord bots for one server. Wish I could just stick with Dyno and Ser Aymeric for everything, yeah? I'll pay premium for Aymeric for birthdays and for monthly recurring events/reminders features, because Aymeric and its devs deserve it.

Edit: Also I refuse to rely on Google Calendar, so that's a good chunk of bots I refuse to use.

I don’t know if this helps, but for discord I made an ITTT bot that looks for events set up in a Google calendar, and based on some criteria pulls the data from those events to paste into discord.

For example, I have a recurring bi-weekly FFXIV event for my group, and every-other Monday it posts a little message reminder in our FFXIV channel.

It’s not a simple plug-and-play setup, but once I got it working it’s been going for a couple years. I think ITTT lets you set up three free routines.

I really hate the idea of relying on Google Calendar, so that's a chunk of bots I don't use. I also hate complicated setups. It makes me not want to go back and fix or change things.
