Hi, #mefites! I make tools IRL and in computerspace. I mostly lurk mefi; I mostly lurk here. You're my favorite internet people!
Every time I've partaken of elitism I've missed out on something cool.
I'm no great fan of reddit, but I do love this technicolor mess.

I know I heard the phrase "You can go outside and play after you've done your homework," more than once when I was little.
I didn't care for it then but it's completely baffling now.
If you'll excuse me, it's time to take my unintended consequences for a walk.

So, #infosec and others who are making bots here. You may not realize, but those bots are pollution of the public timeline. At a MINIMUM, how about putting a content warning around the toots your bots make? I think an even better idea would be putting those bots on an instance of their own.
