+            - **positive**: leave a star, blog about it
+            - **negative/destructive**: keep it to yourself!
+            - **constructive**: issues and merge requests!
+              - check if already reported
+              - emote if you agree

+            notes:
+            - issues / requests are supposed to be technical
+            - avoid **#metwo**, this is annoying for maintainers, use emotes
