minus-squarebreadsmasher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down2·5 months agoCant have better response times if theres literally no one available in the first place.

minus-squarehowrar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·5 months agoYou seem to be using a definition of “available” that’s different from everyone else.
