moderation opinions 

There is by definition no single right moderation strategy, and the "drama"/conflict that arises from different strategies is normal.

If you attempt to find a universally correct moderation strategy you end up recreating the non-moderation or tone policing you see e.g. on Twitter, where moderation decisions have to be based on rigid law-like rules that are easily gamed and abused in the best case, and a formal shield for abuse in the worst.

misadventures in conlanging 

sensible ways to handle large numbers:

★ one digit per power of ten, starting with the highest power ("X million Y myriad Z thousand W hundred Vty U")
★ grouping your powers of ten into neat little groups to reduce the number of words needed ("X million Yty Z thousand W hundred Vty U")

toqqemtic:

hey what if we put the powers of ten first, group things by the hundred and reverse the 10s and 1s like in german and dutch ("million X myriad Y hundred W&Zty U&Vty")

nonsense on FA 

*gets random discord add from someone with no mutual friends or servers, instantly declines*
*finds this in notes sent three minutes earlier, along with the fact they just watched me*
*doesn't respond, almost immediately unwatched after reading*
