i've been adding a lot of "rules" to my posts on here about what kind of replies I want ("no starting arguments!” "no explaining what a git commit is!”)
Here's a thread about why! Some of my goals are:
1. have nuanced discussions & stay on topic
2. hear from a diverse set of people
3. learn new things about how people use computers
let’s talk about each of them!

@b0rk in addition to your core content, I've actually been really enjoying your "rules." It's given me a clearer window into the sort of noise you face when trying to have these discussions in public -- which is different from the sort I receive, whether it's because I have fewer followers, or because of the obvious other thing. 🙄
I'm glad it's working for you and I'm learning from it, too.
