    I see a respected high profile poster complaining bitterly about mansplainers on Mastodon, seemingly without awareness that those hated replies aren&#39;t explaining at *them*. These are people thinking through what has been said, making associations to what they already know, and articulating that minor additional insight in a paragraph for the benefit of themselves and other readers like them. Masto is a conversational medium and this is what conversation is.

    @aanee@mastodon.online @infobeautiful@vis.social while I&#39;m 100% on board with you directionally, I suppose the counter argument would be that exponential growth has to tap out eventually, is just a question of when it turns into an S-curve.

    @nessita I&amp;#39;ll tell you what makes me happy - when I&amp;#39;m browsing around the Django docs or source code, and I see all the excellent changes that you, my splendid, very much appreciated old colleague, has been busy making. Thanks for being such a force for good in the world. Big hugs!

    @troberts@theblower.au Number one correlated trait to seeing high ROI: Do not objectively measure ROI.
