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 Thanks for this thread. I like how you focus on the goals, what kind of conversation you are aiming for. It's exciting to me. I also want to be able to encourage this kind of open, thoughful conversation but I don't always know how to do it. You're rules and the reasoning behind them are giving me a language to communicate what I am aiming for. I think it will be useful on and offline. Thanks!
