@evan why do I have to think twice before replying 😬

@BeanieMacIntosh Hi Beanie!

Good replies are nice. Bad replies can range from irritating to terrifying.

Some things to think about before replying:

- How well do I know the original poster?

- Is this something I could look up myself?

- Has anyone else already said this?

- Am I shifting focus to myself?

- Will this reply make the poster's day better?

- Is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?

- Did I really read and understand the original post?

- Should I mute or block instead?
