(1/2)
Process note:
Since fediverse software doesn't automate this, I use a number system - eg (1/?) or (3/3) - to indicate that a post is part of a larger chain. Common rejoinders to the point I'm making in 1 post might be anticipated and answered in a subsequent one.
I get the utility of replying directly to individual posts on such chain (and sometimes do). But it's definitely worth reading the whole chain first, and ideally leaving oneself a bit of reflection time before replying.
