Soliciting feedback of course; numbers were chosen by secret committee but may not align well with current trends / tastes / psychic fields
SCORESHEET UPDATE
Thanks to your suggestions and the work of Shrike's in-house AI (An Intern) @gock parsing your many replies, the shadow council and I are proud to present V1.2 of the FEDIVERSAL REPLYGUY SCORESHEET is now out! With buffs across the board, it should be easier than ever to score replyguys in a distinct and meaningful way.
@rubiline I feel like "BIO: Christian" also deserves a point or two. Also maybe "BIO: includes specific employers, including former employers"
@fluffy christian in bio is definitely a three-pointer, employers disclaimer is a cool one-pointer IMO
@rubiline Employers disclaimer is also a good one but I mean something like "Current Googler, former Amazon/Twitter/Palantir"
@fluffy oh fuck i forgot those guys were real
@rubiline yeah I'm never even sure what the point is, like, are they treating their bio as a resume, or are they just bragging? IT's probably bragging, given how any of those tech companies are full of people high on their own farts who genuinely think that having been hired at a place makes the inherently the smartest person in the room.
(having worked at Amazon I know for a fact they cultivate that culture internally)
@BDA OH SHITTTT YOURE RIGHT
Nov 17, 2025, 9:34 PM@rubiline beige dot party,
FirstName LastName,
land acknowledgment then clowning on native ppls posts, hashtag ally bitching on queer posts, etc
Adding a hashtag or two to #words in a #sentence
Talking down to u over a joke, copypasta, or sarcasm and going off about conservatives or cheetos or whatever and you look at their profile where they only do this in a series to anyone with like she/her or neopronouns in bio
Nov 17, 2025, 9:55 PM@rubiline linking to some video, article, or their own blog or some suggestion that’s only tangentially related,
suggesting a solution that is either entirely different than what the op is looking for and/or obviously being not knowledgeable on a subject
😂 emote subtweeting after (theyre mad),
actual icon of face like what they’d put on their profile on their job website or beard glasses silhouette vector,
Icon of some shit like eren jaeger from attack on titan, Rorschach from watchmen, bnha
@rubiline I feel like "no American/US politics" in bio could be a potential addition
@rubiline you're doing vital work out here

Nov 17, 2025, 10:50 PM@rubiline instance: kolektiva.social needs to be a point or two
@kniferoomba @rubiline 563801
@kniferoomba @rubiline larger than sink
Nov 18, 2025, 12:24 AM@rubiline uhm excuse me why is this on google docs instead of my favorite foss spreadsheet collaboration tool, [some shit no one has ever heard of before]
@rubiline I believe you flipped a score-sign in the "Diversion"-Tab. Interesting read!
@TheConstructor if it's about earnest bigotry being negative: it is! genuine from the heart bigotry doesn't make a good replyguy, it just makes "a terrible person in your replies", which is a whole different ballgame. there are a few unexpected negatives in there!
@rubiline wat
Nov 18, 2025, 11:49 AM@rubiline crunched my own numbers and it came out as a true replyguy so it checks out lol
@rubiline suggested addition: "you may not like what I have to say" disclaimer in bio. soooo many of these.
@rubiline I feel my Rando Identification Guide could have been useful, even if it is a decade - A DECADE?! - or something old: https://press.invincible.ink/rando-identification-guide/
@Talen_Lee @rubiline the puns are really funny
@rubiline Time to find the top-scoring reply guy of all time. Assemble!
Nov 18, 2025, 6:51 PM@rubiline if i say something disparaging about it being hosted on google, how many points does that get me
@rubiline i think we're gonna find out why they don't keep breathalyzers in bars again 🤣😅
