gollark: By active member count, not really.
gollark: I assume your alts within it have already found out about this.
gollark: Esoserver currently operates a #suggestions channel into which, presumably, suggestions go and are discussed a bit. This seems to work okay without enforcing a particular style of discussion, although most bulk metadiscussion just goes in <#348702212110680064>. We haven't really had any large-scale debates happening, so who knows.
gollark: Which is still more annoying for the writer. So I'm not sure why you would expect people to interpret it as an amazing gift.
gollark: People have different preferences on communication.
