This. I know that dilution of our original ideals is the price we pay for growth so perhaps I shouldn’t have expected much better by this point, but it’s still so sad to watch the community jump at the chance to attack some of the people who put so much into starting and building this movement. I think the level of hindsight bias, mob mentality, and lack of empathy is pretty shocking.
Thank you for your ten years of hard work and for swimming against the tide today.
