I'm like just coming up on ableist language & trying to rebuild my daily word choices to not include it - and holy fuck do alot of us do a terrible job.

Can someone whip up an ableist language bot that just points it out when we do a boo-boo?

No scolding, no shaming, - just a bot that points it out with a simple reply. Hell, "hey my ableism detector is going off" and have it rotate through with some loving positive messages.

I think alot of us would be surprised at how much we could grow in this department

    BEEP BOOP COMRADE.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THIS WEBSITE.

    MY ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THIS CONTENT MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES THAT OF /r/stupidpol.

    PLEASE ADJUST YOUR CHOICE OF LANGUAGE IN LINE WITH THIS GUIDANCE.

      Yeah I kind of don't like the idea of associating it with stupidpol though, like my goal is to be as absolutely inoffensive as possible - saying "your content belongs @ stupidpol" although correct, seems liable to make folks defensive or provoke that sort of mental defense mode.

      I'd really love for it to be an entirely positive message - strictly pointing it out and ideally just saying something kind & loving. I swear that provokes better response in people. It's so much better to just avoid the defense response entirely IMO

        You’re right, Ofc. It’d just be a good bit.
