People are dicks to maintainers of X11-based software too. I think people are just dicks.
It's one of the reasons I love stale closing bots. I don't have to pay attention to people who are dicks. I can just unsubscribe from their issues and let a bot handle it.
- t0astbread 6y agoOkay but why not close angry issues immediately with a cookie-cutter response and avoid stale closing bots? Stale closing bots also have the tendency to close real issues just because nothing has changed regarding the issue in a while.
- tych0 6y agoBecause it's hard to write a "you're being a dick" cookie cutter response for every possible case. People are dicks in a huge variety of ways. I don't enjoy figuring out prose that won't offend people, I enjoy writing and reviewing code, so I do that instead. No solution is perfect, but this one keeps me sane.
