If anyone but a resident female LW’er had made this exact post, it probably would have been downvoted. Instead its friendly banter, “community building” and sharing personal anecdotes.
Being a notable female probably helps when making this kind of post, being Alicorn specifically probably helps somewhat too, especially since Alicorn’s post-related status includes this general area of topics. But don’t underestimate the value of the post being well formatted, easy to read, and including a clear summary of the content at the top. There is also clear acknowledgement of the accepted finding in the related areas (positional vs absolute, experience vs objects, etc.).
Add lots of signalling about feeding the LW alphas.
I don’t understand what you are saying here that relates to the post. (Nevermind my objection to using ‘alphas’ as a plural within a single social group.)
