Why did you put "radio buttons" and "checkboxes" in quotes?
See, here in my message, I actually had a reason to.
(Not judging, just wanted to nitpick something I felt was odd.)

Of the first 5 posts that currently appear in my home feed, 4 are advertisements for commercial products (longform SEO keyword blurps).
I would like to suggest that either you start charging these companies for such a prominent ranking in people's feeds (if you are not already, of course!), provide a way for individual users to downrank or hide this sort of content, or just blanket downrank them in favour of actual community content by people for people by default.
Grrrr darned venture capital funded freeloaders ruining my procrastination.. ehm, community hub!
I am a professional DevOps Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the internet industry. I am an avid Linux lover and supporter of the open-source movement philosophy.
Why is it confused about thanking me for doing the survey?

The responses may not be to their liking after processing them 😂
With DEV you get more interrobang for your buck.
Nice one, you got me. :)
Lol... I'm gonna guess that was my fault. 😅
How'd it be? :þ
Thank you for your participation!
?My pleasure to participate 👍💯💖
I did my part and replied ! Yeah !
Thanks for having such transparency feedback. It's a really good thing.
Very good point! Next time around we'll have to make sure to use radio buttons versus checkboxes for questions where we only want one answer.

You're right that was pretty odd. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll edit my message.
Speaking of nitpicks, perhaps you wanna edit your message too — you misspelled "put". 😜
Fuck.
Lol! I know how ya feel. 🙈
Done ☝️🫡🫡🫡

Question mark at the end of Survey???
Haha, three questions marks at the end of your question????
But to your point, that was a misteak. 😅
Four Question marks at the end of your reply????? 🤭
Lol! Oh no no no... I'm gonna cut this off right here otherwise we'll do this all day. 😂
Great idea! I really like the bit about feeling safe to post. It feels like the opposite of stack overflow 😅
Done!
Survey completed! 😁
It was less painful than the major part of surveys I took in my life, thank you for that! 😂
Happy to hear that! Really appreciate ya participating, Joel. 🙌
no problem 😁

Done. Thanks for making the community so inviting.
Just completed this! Great set of questions!
Done!
You forgot to refactor some checkbox as radio input 😃

finished.
Done 🤗
🔥
It's surprised it managed to get someone to participate and not ignore the survey.
