@_elena Also, the third time you respond to the same thought fielded by a different person, you just won't feel the same earnest engagement as the first time. You kind of want to refer to a different sub-thread, and that feels like you're not giving people what they deserve just because they saw your post later? It kinda sucks, really.

@jens @_elena theres a certain kick to getting viral a few times but its generally best for it to be like one post that then vanishes again, having a certain reachability for you can be cool. but at the same time it depends on how you process it, becoming someone that doesnt answer comments anymore because they feel better than that sucks. dont do that. and its definetly draining to answer all of those responses. but imo its fine to answer in a similar way to multiple comments saying the same.. but I think we really need to count that as a "forced honourary" if you go "viral" on here. cause its draining to spend so much energy with this... and its thankless
