happy friendly reminder day to those who celebrate

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@whitequark the passive-aggressive approach would be to tag in the head dev with "when are you gonna fix it, the bot is getting impatient"

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@ratsnakegames i could do that but i think this is funnier

[purpleidea@mastodon.social]

@whitequark You are doing $DEITY's work.

[alice@mk.nyaa.place]

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems a stale bot that's both already annoying by nature of being a stable bot and ALSO passive-aggressive with its so-called friendly reminders

wow

[haste@mastodon.social]

@whitequark declaring that the reminder is friendly apparently makes it so.

[fireye@peoplemaking.games]

@whitequark god I fucking hate those.

[be@floss.social]

@Haste @whitequark Ah yes, as long as you use polite language, the meaning of the message can't be impolite! It's magic!

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@Haste two can play that game!

[joandaro@mstdn.games]

@whitequark it could've been much more friendly by not trying to say it's friendly

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@joandaro exactly

[polarweasel@hachyderm.io]

@whitequark Did you write the bot you considered in your April reply? I kind of love the idea!

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@polarweasel not yet

[mal3aby@mastodon.smears.org]

@whitequark such reminder, many friendly, wow

[luc@chaos.social]

@whitequark could we do like the cicadas and manage to do all "not stale" replies at the same unpredictable time, taking the forge software offline from the flood of replies and making stalebot nonsense into an actual issue
