Well, that is an essay! Final point is that I was an earlyish adopter of online forums (eg dnuk, 1990s doctors net) and these patterns were being endlessly repeated before the pandemic. I don't really like saying 'pick your battles' as it's not a battle, but certainly, 'pick your best time use'. 5/5

OK, thanks for taking the time. I came to Bluesky to escape the snark and satire at X, and I was hoping for a higher level of discourse here, especially given the high number of scientists. But I understand some people like that aspect of social media. I hope it works for you. I will mute now.
