Informal noise-to-signal metric for post toxicity if you're still on bird site or as a comparison to here or elsewhere.

From your timeline, count how many posts you get, starting at the top, until you hit one that's about a main character you don't care about, or hate speech, or someone being obnoxious on purpose for the sake of getting attention.

Contrast same metric on other sites.

@Pwnallthethings It was 17 posts on this site, before I hit a main character (Yann LeCun, as it happens), and 7 on the bird site. (Of those 7, one was an ad, so 6 would be the fair comparison.)

Coming here reduces toxicity say ~ by a factor of 3.

@TedUnderwood @Pwnallthethings …does Twitter itself or toxicity-on-Twitter count as a main character yet?
@lowd @Pwnallthethings it should I think
