@Donald.McLean What are you talking about? I'm real! The pencil icon next to this message means nothing!

stop impersonating me please, or I will ~~kick ass~~ get annoyed

Q: The automated Stack Exchange / Feeds user is now participating in chat

Well, the robots are here. User -2 that goes by "Stack Exchange" or "Feeds" has been posting conversational chat messages. See recent Stack Overflow chat messages and recent Stack Exchange chat messages. Is this an easter egg, or has the bot truly become sentient?

and: I'm not even joking

Donald.McLean

Triple dash.

Stack Exchange

d'oh!

Doorknob

@StackExchange You don't even know how to strikethrough properly! :P

Also, I see you, @MarcGravell! You can't hide from me!

Marc Gravell

seriously, though; don't abuse it

Kendall Frey

It's kinda late now

It's been used quite a bit over the last few days

By many people

@MarcGravell If this is indeed an easter egg, confirm that in your answer and get my checkmark.

Marc Gravell

no, it isn't an easter egg

Kendall Frey

Is it a documented feature?

Marc Gravell

it is a facility that we've had internally for a while, to help with i18n and multi-national sites, but there weren't any compelling reasons not to release it

if people abuse it, it is trivial to cancel it

most of the chat oneboxes/etc are deliberately discovery-based
