@inthehands no references though. Also, I made a mastodon account on mastodon social while brushing my teeth. The only bit where the UX is hot garbage is when someone finds a toot outside their server and wants to interact with it. But by then retention happened, I think. Anyway, as @kissane said, we need to run iterations, experiments, collect reports from users. Otherwise it's just throwing opinions at each other, which is unhelpful.

@evan as someone who still remembers "the UNIX way", I expected somewhat important and very important to be flipped.

@evan oh wow, what a twist.

@atomicpoet @NaomiNix @fediversenews remember Google Talk. Every time I see people discussing this as if it's a good thing, I wish we instead found a way to exploit this bleep of interest, not passively discuss it.

@evan I voted "donor" because none of the lest qualifies for "decision maker on the government or institutional level". People who push for and make decisions are still people, right?

@evan I spent many hours thinking about how to answer your question, here's the story of how I distilled this answer: https://gist.github.com/cognivore/cdadb983a335d17cf1dd1c3b578486cf

(and three bonus suggestions from my experience in mentoring an actual beginner GM).

@evan

Use a tiny RPG system[1] with a tiny environment ready-made environment[2].
Familiarise yourself with how others[3] run the same environment, then make it your own! You got this.

#WRC #RallySweden absolutely stunning stages!

FTR, it's snowy in Varmland, but is currently +4 rather than +2 where the rally takes place currently.

#Lappi is on maximum attack. Not a bad time though with a *stall*! I hope that he'll fight for 1st.

#WRC #RallySweden

Ooph, it must suck for Piere-Louis. A privateer beating him at a split. I think that Bertelli will still have a worse time overall, but that's a bit embarassing for a #WRC driver.

That said, it's an absolute testament to how good privateers are! Great time in the end.

This rally is so good. Ott is on top with a slower car, the snow specialist Taka is fighting! Glorious stages. Makes me want to move to #Umea, so pretty it is.

Ridiculous how precise you have to be. Craig lost a second in the last three KM. Gah.

Lappi lost six seconds, going from -2.7 to +4.3.

Now this guy has all the chances in the world to extend his lead by a huge chunk! ?

Craig is flying.

When I hear stuff like "that's why we moved further to the north to have snow" from #WRC commentators I get very upset. Truth hurts, but there's nothing joyful about it. We need to always remember why. #ClimateChange.

@evan ah, I gave up my mischief and voted "qualified yes". :(

Qualification: highlands, close to big cities but not inside the big cities.

@evan interesting. I have confession to make: when I first saw your polls, the questions were mostly about opinions and points of view, so I thought that "strong" means "I believe so" and "qualified" means "in my opinion", as in "my belief is backed by qualifications".
A while ago I figured that my understanding of intended semantics was wrong, but I still continue voting like that :D

@evan woaaaaah, then my answer is wrong ?

@evan wait, is Baltic Sea an ocean?
