I upvoted it as a curiosity. The idea of a cultural agenda-signalling bot loose on GitHub actively breaking code and documentation sparks quite a few feelings. Some questions arise, such as whether or not any of the projects receiving contributions from the bot are improved in any material (technical, inclusiveness) way. It's quite common that absolutely the wrong thing gets done in the name of some noble cause, seems this is a fine example of that.

- xeromal 5y agoWhat specific information do you need? 1000 twitter accounts? An MIT study? I'm curious what you need to not be annoyed?
- tomlockwood 5y agoI don't think 1k "twitter accounts" are going to reasonably prove anything, and I'm not sure a singular "MIT study" is either. Do you think those prove there's some impactful issue happening here?
