A lesson I learned this week is that I should never mention multiple accounts in a post ever again - in case the toot "blows up" and gets hundreds of replies over the course of multiple days.

This makes being on the Fediverse incredibly noisy for people who did not choose to be mentioned (I'm talking about my post from Wed asking for recommendations of people critical of AI, so I could make a custom list).

If you are seeing this, I'm REALLY SORRY Timnit, Emily, Alex, Christine, Jared & tante 🥲
