You're entitled to an opinion about it, but a Slack bot that pings you when you say "guys" is not remotely comparable to bullying (which is the top-level claim in this thread).

He's responding to the parent:

A bot that is doing this is tantamount to a person doing it, since a person made the bot and a person installed the bot.
> Hi! Reminder: “guys” is an inherently gendered term.
That's not a ping, that's imposing your language on others. A ping would be something like "guys is a gendered term for some people"

I would consider it a form of harassment and such petty language policies would certainly impact my desire to participate in a community. I would feel unwelcome.
