?🦆 and ?💩 bots #38

Closed Aprillion closed 3 years ago

Aprillion commented 3 years ago

Ideas for new bot commands: ?🦆 (?rubber_ducky) => for rubber ducky debugging

?💩 (?wtf) => for expressing negative feelings and swearing about code that didn't work

FTR: from a discussion that started in https://discord.com/channels/715220730605731931/730475079703724064/781898280920940544

  • delete the message
  • tag the user in a ?kif kody loves you message in the #🧠-health (or other dedicated) channel
  • include some nice words from a list of nice messages, e.g.:
[`Hi ${sender}, I've noticed that you're a bit stressed lately. Here's a hug: `]

I don't know about this one.

I don't know about this one.

@JacobMGEvans I only posted it here, because Kent replied Love it in the chat ...

I was only half serious when I wrote the suggestion, but I might actually use it from time to time myself if it gets implemented - since I cannot complain in person on coffee breaks (mandatory home office) and video conferencing with colleagues is awkward for expressing unfiltered negative feelings and permanent chat messages are not good for swearing either... So I was thinking there must be better options than throwing my computer out of the window 😂

Oh ok, I think I understand the context of command and why to use it, it makes more sense now and I can get on board with that.

Is swearing not allowed on the server? I wasn't aware or just want to maintain positivity as much as possible.

Huh - it did not even occur to me that I could swear in the existing channels if I really wanted... Nah, it's such a nice place, public hate does not fit into this community (regardless of using swear words or safe-for-work words), we are not reddit ;)

"The Oasis for nice interactions on the internet." if anyone wants to quote me.

Still, people should be free to express negative emotions in a safe environment if it's possible to do so without hurting anyone..

JacobMGEvans commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I swear a lot, and I have personally chosen to limit how much I do it in KCD out of respect for Kent and the community. I still do it occasionally lol

kentcdodds commented 3 years ago

To be clear, I don't swear. I don't like the way it makes me feel when I hear it. It's normally associated with unkindness. All that said, there's nothing in our code of conduct that says you can't on our server. Nobody's going to be disciplined just for swearing on the server (they may be disciplined if what they're actually saying goes against the COC of course). :)

I don't think I like the rubber duck idea. The point of posting a piece of code or ask for help is to get more people involved, even if I also understand that thinking about the problem from a different perspective will also be beneficial.

And again I don't need a bot to help me with my stress, the point of venting in a public space is to get real people to either engage or also actively listening. There's no point if the message is deleted if I'm not breaking COC. Just let me vent and be heard.

I like that most of the current commands are mostly to enforce communication. You can send a ?blog post to someone asking for help or say ?thankyou, or send a gif to someone else

kentcdodds commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I don't think this one's going to be happening, and I'm trying to clean up the issues a bit so I'm going to close this one.

Thanks for the ideas and discussion though!
