Individual

gollark: I mean, annoyingness is subjective, but I believe if we were to run a poll or something it would generally be considered annoying.

gollark: Er, some offense (I'm *pretty* sure I got the right person, although the many gianniseses around make it hard to tell), <@!665664987578236961>, but you asking people "are you annoyed by me" and stuff all the time is annoying.
gollark: My internet connection does seem to be stable now, at least, but with a 35% lower download speed than usual.
gollark: Azure apparently had a 775% increase in demand or something crazy like that.
