Things are destined to get a lot busier around here. It's inevitable. Some tips to keep us sane:
1. Mute or block anyone who harshes your mellow.
2. Welcome newcomers, report asshats.
3. Follow who you like. Post about what you like. That's how followings are made.
4. Turn off the Community Firehose if it ever overwhelms you.
5. There's a moment between authoring the post and posting the post. USE IT. If you post mean-spirited content, then we all look mean-spirited. See #1.
