Goddammit I wish you brick headed libs would have some fucking humility. "URGH DONT YOU GUYS REALISE [the most common thing we all get spit into our faces all the time] HURH BET YA DIDNT THINK OF THAT HUH?" Consider the following: you dont know what the fuck you're talking about. Consider the fact that we, just like you, have also heard these talking points as they get served to our head and ass every election season. Unlike you we possess critical thinking skills above that of a parrot, a memory that is better than that of a goldfish, and are slightly more curious than an adolescent ape. This leads to us doing slightly more than reading the headline of the most up voted thing on Reddit for the day, and grants us just a tiny bit deeper understanding of the system and the many flaws with it. Also fuck your mother for giving birth to an idiot like you.

Mods can I nominate myself for a tagline please? 🥺🥺

Fuck I would go as far as saying this comment should be an automod response if we could find a proper set of keywords.

That is a massive compliment, especially coming from you <3 Thank you so much!
I do wish we had more bots. I want a bot that responds with the HST quote whenever people mention "lesser evilism". One that reacts when people post a wikipedia quote (maybe only certain articles, like "communism")
I wanted others, but I don't recall them right now. Maybe something that responds to lemmitors calling others for russian bots.

Edit: Oh yeah an ad hominem bot. I want a bot that insults anyone who claims an ad hominem and the explains what the fallacy actually is.
Wish I knew how to code.

I think that we could probably do

A bot response for someone complaining about bots would be extremely funny and meta, I will bring all this up with the admin team.

Would be rad!
Maybe I should get into coding and I could make those bots a hobby project.

Didn't even think of that part! I think there should maybe be some condition that it does not respond to hexbear users, since we like to joke about it too and that might get tiring. Or maybe it's funny, who knows?

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 15 points 4 weeks ago

I think it would be funny if it responded to us too

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 14 points 4 weeks ago

I mean I'm just the ideas guy (the most important type of guy) it's really all up to you

And I agree, I still get a kick out of getting hit with friendly fire from the whataboutism bot

[-] WHATABOUTISM_DETECTOR@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago

Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago

I'll see if I can get @quotebot@hexbear.net running again. If you have a working codebase and want the username, DM me and I'll give you the password over matrix.
