gollark: Wait, why did you read the potatOS... license terms, I think... now?

gollark: Well, yes, I suppose we do use advanced ideatic/memetic devices to sift hëavserveric discussion and emotion from the noösphere and expand heavserver.
gollark: "Rate at which they create heavserver"/"How often someone declares that they hate 'heavserver' and always avoid it"
gollark: > 'Heavserver' is just 'people being upset', when someone says they're always surrounded by heavserver and they just ignore it, it starts to make sense that their strategy might be backfiring.I feel like this is somewhat inaccurate.
