Just wanted to chime in and thank you for providing a valid critique and reality check for folks. No matter what we do as admins and moderators, humans are gonna human (myself included) and we should be realistic about what this space can and cannot be.

I personally never envisioned this place as being a be-all end-all solution to the problem with social media, just one attempt (among many) to find ways to do it a little bit healthier. Building on the shoulders of giants and all - maybe some of our principles will make it into another healthy platform in the future.

With that being said, I do want to be clear that if you ever have a critique or would like to report things that aren’t working on this instance, please speak up about it! We can only act on information that is surfaced to us and we want to do our best to curate the best space we possibly can in our little corner of the internet and fediverse.

This is also as good a time as any to remind our newcomers, such as @[email protected], to go read through our docs when you’ve got a minute. Of particular note the core principles outline most of what kind of community we’re trying to provide a space for and how we expect people to act on our instance.
