I belong to a local Atlanta Slack channel - tech404 - that for the longest had an official bot that would always respond with the waving hand emoji (HN doesn’t support emojis) if you ever said the word “guys”. Even in private channels.

#42Can we get a source for that? Because at the moment, it's just a comment made by a person on the internet with nothing backing it up...
It’s interesting how unsubstantiated allegations are getting so much attention, especially on a site with such high quality discussion.

#44I wouldn't be entirely surprised if something like this was intentional, or that they intentionally filtered the word "gender" and an unintentional side effect was the program crashing.
You literally can't make any statements about gender, no matter how benign, without pissing at least a few of your users off.

#45If you told me 10 years ago that gender would be such a hot topic in 2022 I'd have thought you were crazy.
Everything about 2020-2022 is unreal

Much more likely: the upvotes are because many people have frustration at this type of thing, and limited places to channel their frustration, so when they see a post like this, they upvote it to express their frustration. Or maybe that’s just me..
What type of thing? Asking for genuine curiosity.
Verboten words that are completely commonplace and mundanely acceptable outside of a certain small but powerful bubble

Why? Are you unable to believe someone might think differently than you do, without it being explained away as "artificial voting"? Edit to add: Nice, they edited their comment. Previously it accused HN of having an artificial voting conspiracy. So that is what my comment was about. I will not edit my original comment above.
They made an unsubstantiated allegation about an unsubstantiated allegation. The allegation was upvoted, the allegation about the allegation was downvoted. Surely you understand how silly that is?
You’re right, edited.

#48I hope to god that one day we will all see this nonsense for what it is: absurdly hilarious.
It's gonna come soon enough. The backlash is already mounting.
I'm just honestly super exhausted by any of the insanity right now, not even only regarding this topic. It's just complete black-and-white thinking these days, no matter about what it is. Extremes only. The stronger your opinion the better, how else would you feel like you exist? Almost no one with a rational, centered overarching perspective. Twenty years ago 50% of the current population would've been considered as possibly having BPD.
