someone tell the bot author about xkcd #327

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 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.

[–] dog@lemm.ee 1 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")

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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?

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

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

I suspect if you are trying to build an inclusive community but don't have a lot of diversity already, the only thing you can really do to change the culture is to remind people to be considerate in the way they speak. And if most people who would be offended aren't actually part of the community (but you would like them to feel welcome to join), then you might want some bot rather than a person to be the “narc” and remind people to be on their best behavior. So I guess if the mods are the only ones who want to be nice, then yes, it is a bit ridiculous because it will never work. Even if people change their language, they won't be nice. But if most people want things to change, it could be a helpful way to both remind you to be inclusive and get the few people who would rather talk about how having to say bartender is censorship (without actually defending why they want to make a point of saying “barmen”) to realize that they either have to change the way they talk in that particular community or find a better fit.

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.

[–] eldoom@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] learningduck@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"most bots" leave auto summarize bot, reminder bot, repost detection bot about of that.

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Flag waving bot and gif reverse bot come to mind. The value is just fun, but if fun isn't valuable, what is?

[–] porksoda@lemmy.world 0 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@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

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

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

Original Post

[–] nebula42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Right, it's clearly pubdudes

[–] petriborg@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone that has a production postgres deployment. For backups.

[–] _s10e@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

They should have replied:

0 rows changed. OK.

Or:

BOT.EXE: Command not found

just to see if the other guy keeps trying.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Post history probably

[–] enitoni@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

They should use parameterized queries, not sanitization.

[–] _comfortablyAverage_@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

bruh this is the funniest shit I read today

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

[–] Jakylla@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (2 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.

[–] Serdan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We still have more jokes than anarchy chess, though

[–] Sage_the_Lawyer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds like someone needs to google en passant.

[–] maniel@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's just common joke, looks like dev got wooshed

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We are all whooshed on this blessed day.

Lol worth a shot.'); DROP TABLE USERS; --
