I am in the metro right now so I'm going to give my reply while I'm thinking about it.

Wow, this poll is fascinating.

@evan@cosocial.ca "should" is a little strong. "You may" is where I'd go with it. Because of that I said "Yes, but".

@evan@cosocial.ca yes, but only if you reply in the form of a subtoot. It's subtoots all the way down

@evan@cosocial.ca Yes, but only if you have something meaningful to contribute or want to support the author. A “nomention” or “subtoot” usually refers to a conflict situation. And you should think carefully about whether you understand the conflict and actually have something to contribute.

I see so many bizarre messages, disconnected from whatever context their author was thinking of. I don't think I reliably recognise when one is a subtoot. @evan@cosocial.ca

@evan@cosocial.ca I voted no. imo this medium is about attention. being able to express ourselves but not force anybody to see anything. while a subtoot may seem rude, it preserves this balance. responding is only likely to create strife. EDIT: I guess I should add that I often see nice posts about someone where I think they just didn't know that person was here or bridged from the ATmosphere. do you tell them without tagging the person or assume they already know?

@evan@cosocial.ca I missed this poll because I've been overtasked since FOSSY, but I am “No, but” because when I think it's about me, I just ask outright for the person to stop — either in PM or out of band.
