@lxo I appreciate you saying that.
However, I will make my own decisions on how to conduct myself in a conversation with a person I've known for about 2 decades on a topic I care about, as long as Radek is also willing to continue the conversation.
I am using Quiet public visibility setting, and that's so that nobody who doesn't want to follow it, doesn't have to. Fedi software also has affordances for muting a thread.
