@darius we fondly remember the glory days of IRC when everyone would help newcomers to figure stuff out, and it was a social bonding activity in addition to a practical function

it's not that people are wrong to prefer things that are less work, but it's a missed opportunity these days

@darius @beka_valentine yeah, you know that whole thing about the means by which you build power becoming binding on the institution you create? it's nice to see that affecting a group whose goals are at odds with ours for once

@TerribleMaps there's an old line, "The map is not the territory, but you can't fold up the territory and put it in your glove compartment"

Clearly, whoever came up with that line was insufficiently ambitious!
