gollark: As well as this one.
gollark: This can go in my list of "out of context styro quotes".
gollark: I assumed it was just a joke. And it is quite funny. But I guess it's dual-purpose.
gollark: The only message on 19 December is> 6K+ already?!?which seems pretty innocuous, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 20 December one about the (not implemented yet) restricted thing channels and will chalk this down to... time zones, or something.I'd kind of expect you to have said something in the intervening four months if this was a problem for you.
