I've had a "Be nice" rule for 7 years of Discord servers, and that was enough. Saying you're pro-LGTBQ+ and anti-fascism shouldn't be necessary. But here we are. I just added the following rule to the Open World Gamedev discord. Could've phrased it a thousand ways, hopefully this comes across ok.

Fun fact! We are at almost 30000 lines of code for Tides of Revival, almost 20000 of which are in #ziglang. I wonder how many similar-sized Zig projects are out there. @kristoff.it do you have any statistics? I'm also honestly surprised to see we have 5k lines of HLSL. Go @gmodarelli.com!
