I think I have a TAP that’s something like, “Notice I’m in a Demon Thread, bow out of conversation.” The way I bow out is something like “It doesn’t feel to me like there’s anything useful coming out of this discussion, so I won’t be replying further”.
This seems potentially less useful than the norm of “take it to private”. But it does seem to reliably end the demon threads. Not sure if it also has a chilling effect.

Yeah, the take-it-private part was specifically a subset of “if the thread seems actually important.”
