Open Source Design
@opensrcdesign
I think a lot about moderation tools. One feature I adore is how Twitch chat and Discord chats can put timers and slow mode/cool downs on typing in the chat boxes.

Appropriate friction that has likely helped folks not intending to be adversarial, stop and think before they send an abusive messge.

Had a birthday this week where i moved from one age bracket to another. But why do folks in their 20's think 40 is old when there are three more brackets ahead of the decade of 40?!
