Our chat, called DEV Connect, has for most of its existence been not quite where we want it to be to really do a promotional push to drive awareness. But we've been patient building it out and we're just getting into the phase where we will be leaning into driving awareness.
The problem is we can only talk to people, whom I follow, and they should follow me too.
I've 12000 followers, but I'm just following 70.
I want to follow all the 12000, so anyone can talk to me but how should I do it, there is no bulk action 😕
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
There's a whole paper airplane for it:
Ouch my bad, I didn't notice it.
I'm not, you know, trying to be a jerk or anything. But there's also a button:
You just gotta stalk folks.
imma start with you tomorrow for sure :D!
Vaguely ominous. I'm in.

Edited, thanks!

You really don't want to follow 12000 people! That wouldn't be something you could manage, and it wouldn't help anyone.
What you want is to allow anyone to talk to you, regardless of whether they follow you or not, and you can set that under Settings -> Misc -> Connect.
Didn't notice either haha. I think the icon is not the best to explain the purpose.
I did not know this existed!!
Can we embed gifs in the chat?
