LMAO THEY GOT BUSTED

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.

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

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.

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

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.

And all those posts have 1 karma. These Gerpersons have some serious temper.

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

Who else is making sql injection attack jokes?

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

Post history probably

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.

I think #1 adequately represents the chance of nothing happening, which is pretty high all things considered.

do what? barmen?

Someone in this thread linked the original post, which was referring to a town called Barmen

Right, it's clearly pubdudes

Anyone that has a production postgres deployment. For backups.

It's the more common term in British English.

I love the profile icon.
