   @fahrni @lylo there’s definitely an aspect of tall poppy-ism to it sometimes.

     @lylo @anildash Yeah, perhaps it can't. Especially when you achieve a bit of notoriety. Once that happens I feel like folks start coming for you.

     Heh, in the early days of blogging I was attacked more than I have ever been on Twitter or here, but I'm not famous. (Thank goodness.)

     I'm not doing this so folks will pile on. This needs to be talked about. Black Twitter didn't work out here either. I believe a lot of folks moved to Bluesky and formed collectives there.

     How do we fix discovery, reply guys, and welcoming all comers?

     Anyway, I don't have an answer, thought maybe some smart folks might have some good ideas to share with Anil.
