The fediverse means that experienced fedinauts try to shut up the "yes, but"ters either directly in their posts or in the first reply. We know the pavlovian reflexes of the "Yes, but"ters. And we are tired of it.

"Pavlovian" I feel is useful to explain (to myself as I learn it and others)
Russian physiologist who observed conditioned salivary responses in dogs (1849-1936)
Ivan Pavlov or his experiments = Pavlovian
