One thing I've changed about my open-source behavior is that when I open up literally any issue or PR on another person's repo, I always start with a paragraph gushing about how much I appreciate the project. "Thanks for creating this project, I really appreciate it," etc. I don't know if it helps, but it makes me feel better knowing that I'm making a bid for that person's time and attention, that I at least tried to send some good vibes their way.

@wowaname i don't have enough content in my tl here, it's pretty annoying. also i need to switch to pleroma from masto, my PaaS doesn't properly pass client ip so every http request to my masto is ratelimited in the same bucket and you can't disable masto ratelimiting.

Gone from Twitter, after a 12 year run, because I can't endorse censorship platforms by donating content to them. :(

@alex maybe run a site on a diff domain that runs develop?
