💯 i’ve been meaning to post about this. i think it’s been much better than the default that tpot has fostered a space for people to be vulnerable and operate in good faith. but some of that has been by refusing to engage in object level disagreements
yeah that does happen but also I feel like "bluesky = rainbows n puppies n conflict avoidance" vs "twitter = high class debate of important topics" is kinda a straw man
bec actually the ppl I know well enough to judge who've been most enthusiastic abt bluesky are not conflict avoiding ppl, but they are ppl w boundaries and a sense of self?
