@prologic well, that leaves no space for further discussion. I tell my wife the same about food when she cooks: no matter how delicious the meal might be, if it doesn't pass the "eyes test" it is going to be hard to even try it. It happens with everything. I mean, often we pursue the good looking person, to later find it shallow, but we sure enjoy the good looking stage for bit! 😂

@eaplmx what would "Hispanic content" be? We need to start by defining that. If all you meant was having one in which Spanish speaking people congregates, then you are a suitable candidate to spin one up. 😂 Now, I have my reservations with that. I wouldn't want to peer, nor follow anyone from a Spanish speaking pod (and I know the language!). I am sure others will want it less.

For as much as some may hate it, English is, mostly, the language of the Internet. Maybe in a few years from now will be Mandarin, but I doubt it. The Chinese are learning English in mass.

If this has an impact on ad blocking—and my quick read of it is kind of telling me it does—this has to be very worrisome to all of us.

@eaplmx so, let me tell how how fork is to be used, before the Yarn Police comes around, and write you an infraction. A fork is used when the reply twt you are about to write goes astray from the main topic of conversation. That's it!

Now, fork can also be used when you want to reply to someone, and you want your reply leaving no doubt which twt you are replying to. This easily applies to long, to very long, yarns. If you have any questions let me know!
