When graduate employees at Mizzou were stripped of our health insurance in 2015 with 12 hours' notice before coverage expired, we walked out and formed a union... and the librarians marched and rallied with us.

The idea still makes me giggle, though.

I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings

If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option
