tpot is a social protocol for finding friends on the internet. the initial spawning subclusters aren’t important, imo what’s important is visa’s Friendly Ambitious Nerd playbook and twitter_rpg_strategy_guide.txt, tim’s “in this house we reply like it’s improv”, lore like qc’s acid mom tweet.
Like Before Reply makes such a difference for my thinking... to me Like means "I appreciate that you took the time to post this"- which can apply even if I deeply disagree w it... if it gives me heartburn to Like the OP then I shouldn't be giving it more energy & engagement w a reply
