Please use caution when bringing Twitter nonsense here: QTing stuff to dunk on it ended up being one of the most problematic, toxic elements there. It kept putting people in front of me I'd decided to ignore.

I'll beg if I have to: please, please, please stop fixating on what you want to oppose, and live into what you want to give your energy to, and what you want to celebrate.

I've found that being in a "for" community is much more productive than being in an "against" community.

@sumpnlikefaith you’re gonna have to give some of us time.

It takes A LOT of effort to break the programming that the engagement algorithm rewarded us with over there.

@JKxZ Right, thanks for that! I keep forgetting about the algorithm component. I never let it change me, but I was never going to be a big account there because of that. Sigh. Tangled web, and all that.

@sumpnlikefaith Pavlov should have never bought a bell.

It’ll get better. Lots of us are used to reacting to sock puppets and bot accounts. I haven’t seen any over here yet.

@JKxZ [shakes head sadly] So true! Serious culture hacking going on all over the place there.

I agree -- it will get better.

@sumpnlikefaith @JKxZ
Bots and socks simply don't exist here. They get nuked from orbit.

@voltronic @sumpnlikefaith @JKxZ
So just remember that everything you say and respond to is an actual living human being..
