@grishka @Antacon @sjvn Personally I also keep issues open but will give them a specific tag like waiting for reply as a placeholder.

• I really hate the stale shit and espechally #StaleBot (like #StarBot) should be outlawed!

@pancake nodds in agreement I think #GitHub should ban #StaleBot & #StarBot!

If a project doesn't want to take in issues via GitHub at all that's fine, but at least they should point towards the proper channel:

• Like #Linux does!

@thcrt #StaleBos should be illegal, just juke #StarFarming, #StarBot and assholes that simply mark something as duplicate just to make number go down!

• And yes I'm talking about @MastodonEngineering / #Mastodon and I hope @Gargron gets his #devs in order!

#rant #FLOSS #GitHub #Issues

@apm77 @smolrobots

Leaving us with the fundamental question whether the bot can be refigured to correct star-placing treetop orthodoxy.

#Starbot #SmallHelpfulRobots #WarOfChristmas

@dis nodds in agreement I remember @marcan rightfully blowing off about the bs that is #StaleBot.

• Only worse is #StarBot that literally demands people to commit to #StarFarming or otherwise automatically rejecting their issue.

Yes, both are worse than paywalling issues to "paying customers only"...

@Mawoka I think #StaleBot should disqualify everyone who instates it from touching any code whatsoever!

Worse is only #StarBot which is likely violating #GitHub's ToS and is just an asshole move - kinda like denying customer service if someone doesn't rate a business 5* on the sales platform they bought it from!
