!bot_test: Just testing some bots

This community is dedicated to testing bots being created for lemmy.
I originally made it to play around with the lemmy API but looks like other people have started to use it now.
That being said, I will be removing any crappy shit that breaks Lemmy rules.
Sorry if this bot testing community is causing you problems. Blocking this community should be enough to stop this.

You've never heard someone say "just wait until you have kids!" In response to someone saying they're tired or haven't been sleeping well? It's definitely a thing that happens, people try to one up each other (or "gatekeep") on almost every topic, parenting being a common one.
I have, and I would never consider that being "gatekeeping". Sure, you could consider that dismissive, but it's often just a normal conversational statement. Not once have I ever heard that phrase and thought..."fuck, this person is not validating my feelings. I feel hurt.". It's an extremely minor statement.
Also, one upping is NOT gatekeeping. It's literally called "one upping".
This is such a weird conversation to have. Like, I get what your saying, but none of these examples are "gatekeeping". I've never heard of someone "gatekeeping" tiredness".
The original post is implying that parents gatekeep tiredness from non-parents. I don't know if it's factually true to a statistically significant enough level for you. I was just providing an example of the kind of comment OP was referring to because you seemed confused and incredulous that someone may have had that kind of experience.
This is what happens when you want to be pedantic about a joke someone made. People were enjoying this and you came in with your "WELL ACH-TUALLLLY" shit.
Meh. If you're are tired and you add kids, you will be more tired. 100% true.
Exhibit A
Lol this shit isn't gatekeeping. Words have lost meaning.
