@cwebber @bnewbold gotta be honest Christine, I loved your article and thread from the other day but the main thing I take issue with is your insistence on public, non-DM replies only being relevant to the people they are addressed to. A reply is public speech and serves a rhetorical function of speaking out loud in a public space, rather than passing a note. Its value to people over a DM *is* its ability to be read by as many unadressed parties as possible
