Hey Fedi!

Despite my best efforts, I'm a flawed person, like any other.

Just something to keep in mind.

I (almost) always toot publicly, because I think sunlight is one of the best disinfectants. So, if you see me make a mistake, such as boosting or saying something incorrect, or coming across like a jerk about something, please call me out (gently if possible πŸ˜…), so I can do better.

I watched a video last night about out of touch celebrities, and while I only have a tiny fraction of their reach, I think it's good to remind myself about the dangers of thinking that people's interest in my opinions correlates in any way with their truthiness.

@alice i feel similarly and do want people to assume good intent, reach out to me if there is a problem and want to recognize that "call out culture" is not healthy (indeed, it is toxic) as we need processes that heal and restore.

i hope we on the fediverse move toward a "calling-in" type process to best create spaces that are safe and recognize that this is a better path forward:
