I can't be the only one who thinks having a bot to go round pestering people for saying things like barmen is a little ridiculous right?

[–] MargotRobbie 36 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Bots on reddit are just so universally annoying and most of them provide no value at all. Most of them should have been banned on sight anyways.

[–] porksoda 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I modded a niche outdoor community sub and I banned every bot that found its way there. Sorry, but we don't need a metric conversion bot nor a grammar correcting bot.

[–] MargotRobbie 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, because the best part of reddit was the human interaction, and having bots proliferate everywhere just kills that entirely.

[–] Beliriel 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The auto-tldr bot was/is pretty useful

There was one for a while that told you how many times you left a comment saying "nice." It had a leaderboard and the top ones had done it some tens of thousands of times.

I got a similar reply from a mod account (I forget which subreddit) because I used the word "crazy." Got linked to this list: https://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's so dumb, I think you have to be going out of your way to get offended by the word crazy

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That page has to be satire... right?

The whole "police your language, so there's no chance anyone could ever be offended" idea is such an oppressive path to a more equal society.

Blind to ____ / turn a blind eye to ____ / blinded by ignorance/bigotry/etc. / double-blind review Refers to Blind, low-vision, or sight-limited people. Often used as a metaphor. Consider instead: willfully ignorant, deliberately ignoring, turning their back on, overcome by prejudice, doubly anonymous, had every reason to know, feigned ignorance

Those alternatives dont mean the same thing.

Double Annoymous seems better

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think dev is pointing out how poorly it was applied here; the whoosh is you.

[–] grue 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

We are all whooshed on this blessed day.

By the way, Barmen is a city in Germany, in context to the original post

They should have replied:

0 rows changed. OK.

Or:

BOT.EXE: Command not found

just to see if the other guy keeps trying.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

someone tell the bot author about xkcd #327

[–] c0mbatbag3l 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure this exact XKCD was posted to Lemmy the other day and is most likely the reason this comment was made entirely.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

it's a very very popular xkcd comic strip, much more in the programming community

because it's funny

get it? funny

i said a funny word ("funny")

Don't know why he's so annoyed, maybe you didn't throw his database, but still something happened, I'm pretty sure...

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 years ago (8 children)

No, it's just a pretty lame joke that got repeated like five million times.

Unfortunately our community breeds an extremely self-referential, repetitive humour that can get quite annoying. Like that one guy pissing his pants laughing because 42 hahahaha.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That guys response is still only half as annoying as seeing continual bot spam, especially from useless pretentious ones that provide no value like this one

They should use parameterized queries, not sanitization.

Who tf even uses barmen I've never heard that before

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

It's the more common term in British English.

Yeah, it is a joke on xkdc and the joke is based on SQL injection, a type of database attack.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

How did the author know the poster was in his 40s? Or was it just a guess?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Who else is making sql injection attack jokes?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

People like to creep through others' post history to try and find a basis for ad hominem attacks when their comment or argument isn't clever enough to stand on its own

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Post history probably
