Just got reminded of another issue on the home assistant repo that got marked as stale
I hate stalebots, I really do
I just poked my todo item for nostalebots.xyz and poked it to maybe look at it again tomorrow
One of the ideas in there is to make an application that people can turn on and use to "revive" stale bot threatened issues every time a stale bot comes around and marks them
I want stalebots to become unusable, I want the noise of constant staleness fighting between users and bots to force the repo owner to either disable the bot, or ban the users, in the latter case exposing their opinion that they don't care about those issues
I want stalebots to become untenable, I want them to be hated with extreme prejudice, I want it to become the hallmark of an uncaring maintainer or a PKI-overdosing company, I want them to be a mark of low quality, I want them to be glared out of existence
I hate stalebots.

@ShadowJonathan Ok so I never heard of stalebots but I'm guessing this is referring to the automated closing of issues that get ignored and not solved?
Like, how when I google a very specific problem with a project, I find an issue that didn't get solved and got closed as if it didn't exist?
@ShadowJonathan fuck stalebots all my homies hate statebots
@ShadowJonathan Don't respond to the stalebot in the issue, create a new issue titled "issue # was marked as stale" instead :blobCat_wink_tongue_out:
