I have been blocked by so many people solely because of people I follow - many of whom I don't follow because I like them, but they have an effect on broader communities and it's good to keep tabs on them. There are notable actors

This is what I do 99% of the time (unless I drastically feel the need for a visual debugger as I'm not so familiar with CLI debugging just yet). I run a dev VM on any machine(s) I'm actively working on that all share the same setu

Can't you make this argument to just bully people you don't like? If you get a majority of people to say "zzleeper" is actually pronounced "crap bag", then majority rule wins, right, and you must acknowledge pe
