@seachanger Yeah, I've seen a bit of this and the invisible, repeating reply guys are exhausting.

Genuine question, though: How do you see QTs helping here? I've had some luck adding replies to my original post (something like a P.S.) to add clarifications/answer common questions. But most of my repeating replies aren't from people who follow me, so they wouldn't see the QT anyway. I'm guessing you're envisioning some kind of different situation, then? Always appreciate your thoughts.

@seachanger And just to be super clear (for anyone out there who might want to start some Discourse) I'm not reflexively anti-QT. Just curious.

@design_law One thing people did on Twitter is pull up annoying replies with a QT so that everyone can actually see it, and deal with it publicly. It takes a lot more work to do that here and this is what I saw people of color talking about last fall—they are being treated one way in the replies, but a lot of people just have no idea what’s even happening leaving the original poster feeling alone/vulnerable/bombarded

@design_law but another person in tbr replies here did remark that even that had limited effectiveness for them personally so 🤷🏼‍♀️
