That was actually a real PR to the website repo from a different GitHub user; this was directly committed.

That PR was apparently accepted by the operator, not by the bot. Kind of weird.

I wonder if all online interpersonal drama will vanish into a puff of “everybody might be a bot and nobody has a coherent identity.”

I put my name on my post. So that's one less thing you have to worry about.

I think you did a great job! Also gutsy, some people might mistake you for the operator (and they did!)

Thanks! I think that's the only negative thing that might've come out of this for me, but that person corrected themselves and apologized quickly.

I'm inclined to agree. Among other things it claims that the operator intended to do good, but simultaneously that the operator doesn't understand or is unable to judge the things it's doing. Certainly seemed like a fury-inducing response to me.
