PSA

This place will likely be overwhelmed with trolls, morons, and angry and bitter people one day soon like all the rest. Muting will be a very necessary tool in your toolbox (and it even helps other with your web of trust), don’t forget to use it before getting angry and fighting with people trying to trigger you.

This is also how you can keep the vibe up indefinitely, curate your graph deliberately. Use the network, don’t let the network use you.
